Drivers should be able to get through the intersection of Communication Road and Grand Avenue East in Chatham again after a four-vehicle crash took place there.

The OPP shut down all lanes of Communication Road (Highway 40) between Grand Avenue and Colborne Street for about an hour Wednesday morning as a result of the crash, but police re-opened the road just before 9 a.m.

Chatham-Kent EMS said paramedics who were called to the scene assessed four patients and took one of them to the hospital for further treatment of minor injuries.
