Police track down driver after crash in Tilbury

After an extensive search, Chatham-Kent police managed to track down a driver who was involved in a rollover crash in Tilbury late Thursday night.

Police said they were called to the area of King & Whittle Road in Tilbury shortly after 10:15 p.m. Thursday and found an empty vehicle that was upside down and close to a nearby hydro pole with apparent damage.

Officers said they searched the area for the driver, but they couldn't find anyone, so they deployed a drone to help. That search still came up empty.

Police were eventually able to track down the driver, but there is no word on charges.
