Serious crash in Chatham sends two Comber residents to the hospital

Chatham-Kent police are investigating a collision that involved two vehicles and a pedestrian.

Police were called to Grand Avenue West at Woods Street, around 4:15 p.m. on Saturday.

According to police, a red pickup truck was driving east on Grand Avenue West when it jumped the curb onto the sidewalk on the south side of the road.

The vehicle struck a 19-year-old pedestrian walking on the sidewalk, police said. The teen suffered minor injuries.

"The truck proceeded to strike a utility pole, veer back onto Grand Avenue, and collide with a westbound GMC Envoy vehicle, which was travelling westbound on Grand Ave West," police said in a release. "The collision caused both vehicles to strike another utility pole just east of Woods Street."

The driver of the truck, a 40-year-old Comber man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. His passenger, a 41-year-old Comber woman suffered serious injuries and was transported to Windsor Regional Hospital.

The driver of the Envoy, a 69-year-old Chatham man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance.
