Charges have been laid in connection to a collision that claimed the life of one near Tilbury last month.

On Jan. 20 just after 5 p.m., the Chatham-Kent Police Service was called to the scene of a collision on Queen’s Line between Wheeler Line and Davidson Road.

One driver involved in the two-vehicle collision was pronounced dead at the scene. The second driver was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No others were in the vehicles.

As a result of the investigation, a 25-year-old man from Chatham has been arrested and charged with dangerous driving causing death. He has since been released from custody awaiting his court date.
