A driver involved in a two-vehicle crash earlier this month has died.
The collision took place on Bloomfield Road in the area of Fourteenth Line and Fifteenth Line at around 8:55 a.m. on October 4.
Chatham-Kent police said both vehicles were travelling northbound on Bloomfield Road when one vehicle rear-ended the other. The impact caused the second vehicle to leave the roadway and enter the ditch.
Both occupants of the vehicles were immediately transported to the hospital for medical attention.
In an update Tuesday, police said the driver of the vehicle that entered the ditch has died.
“It is with deep sadness that we report the driver of vehicle two tragically passed away,” police said in a statement. “The Chatham-Kent Police Service extends heartfelt condolences to the families affected by this unfortunate incident.”
The name of this individual will not be released out of respect for the family’s privacy.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any information that could assist in the investigation is urged to contact police.
