Man found breaching release conditions after crash
A 35-year-old Chatham man who allegedly crashed a vehicle in Wallaceburg last night is in trouble for more than just his role in the collision.
Police said they were called to the scene on Fraser Road at around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday and learned that the driver had lost control of the vehicle before it left the roadway, hit a hydro pole, and ended up in a ditch.
Officers were able to find the occupants of the vehicle a short distance from the scene on Heritage Line.
A 35-year-old Chatham man was arrested in connection with the case and charged with careless driving. He was also charged with failing to comply with his release conditions because he was under a court order not to communicate with a specific woman, who was a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the crash.
He was taken into custody pending a bail hearing.
