A local man is fighting for his life in Windsor hospital following a mishap overnight.
Early this morning around 2 a.m., emergency personnel attended a serious collision involving a snowmobile in the area of Given Road and Gregory Drive in Chatham.
Through investigation, Chatham-Kent police learned the driver and lone occupant of the snowmobile was travelling through a field with two other snowmobilers when he struck a snow-covered ditch.
The 36-year-old Chatham Township man sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to Chatham-Kent Health Alliance. He has since been transferred to a Windsor hospital for further medical treatment.
The Traffic Unit has taken over this investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Josh Flikweert at joshuaf@chahtam-kent.ca or 519-355-1092.
