A 43-year-old Chatham man is dead following an early morning crash in Chatham.
The accident occurred about 5:30 a.m. Friday morning, police say, at the intersection of McNaughton Avenue and Sandys Street in Chatham, involving a motorcycle and another vehicle.
The driver of the motorcycle was taken to hospital in Chatham with life-threatening injuries and was then transferred by air ambulance to hospital in London, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 45-year-old Wallaceburg woman, wasn’t injured.
