A trio of accidents across Chatham-Kent on Wednesday.
A driver lost control of his truck around 7:30m on Creek Line and struck a hydro pole. The driver was not hurt, but damage is estimated at $10,000 and the road was closed for several hours so they could repair the pole. A 17-year old from Pain Court has been charged with careless driving.
Around 3pm, police responded to a two-vehicle crash on Grand Ave W near Keil Dr. in Chatham. Damage was $4,000 and an 88-year-old Chatham woman was charged with making an unsafe turn.
Then, just before 7pm in Blenheim, two vehicles collided on Chatham St. near Talbot St. A 65-year old from Blenheim was taken to hospital and was later charged with careless driving. Damage is estimated at $5,000.
