One person is dead following a collision just west of Bothwell on Hwy. 2 this afternoon.
According to the Chatham-Kent Police Service, at approximately 1:15 p.m. today, a two-vehicle collision took place on Longwoods Rd. between Zone Rd. 6 and Zone Rd. 7.
The driver of an agricultural truck was transported to a local hospital and the driver of a passenger vehicle was deceased at the scene of the collision.
