Some tense moments on Charing Cross Road late Thursday afternoon.

Emergency crews responded to the overpass over the 401 shortly before 6pm to assist a person experiencing a mental health crisis.

Chatham-Kent Police engaged with the individual and the OPP were called in for support, briefly shutting down the westbound lanes of the 401 between Communication Road and Bloomfield Road.

Authorities say the situation was brought to a peaceful conclusion, and the individual is safe and receiving supports.
