Careless Driving Charge After Fatal

Chatham-Kent police have now laid a charge in connection with a fatal crash in Blenheim.

Jennie Verbeek, 41, was killed after she was struck by a car while riding her mobility scooter at the intersection of Chatham St. N and Hannibal St. on June 11.

She was transported to hospital in Chatham and eventually airlifted to London, where she succumbed to her injuries.

A 33-year-old North Buxton man is facing a careless driving charge and will make a court appearance next month.
