Collision claims life of Newbury woman

Chatham-Kent police are investigating a collision that took the life of an 80-year-old woman.

CK police said emergency crews were called to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Kenesserie Road and Gosnell Line shortly after 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Police said one of the vehicles had four people inside at the time of the crash, including a 64-year-old woman from Howard Township, and three younger passengers. All four were transported to Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA) with minor injuries.

The second vehicle was driven by a Newbury woman, 80, who sustained life-threatening injuries, police said.

She was taken to a hospital in Newbury, where she eventually succumbed to her injuries.

The area was closed for several hours, but has since reopened.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the investigating officer, Constable Joel Rehill at [email protected] or at 519-355-1092.
