Chatham-Kent police are putting out another call for tips as they continue to investigate a fatal two-vehicle crash on Talbot Trail that took place over the Thanksgiving weekend.
According to a previously published report, police noted that they were called to the area of Talbot Trail between Goulet Road and Kendall Road in Raleigh Township at 10:35 a.m. on Sunday for the collision.
Officers released some new details Thursday morning about the vehicles and the people involved.
Investigators said the two vehicles involved were a Volkswagen Passat with one person inside and a Jeep Cherokee that was carrying a driver and a passenger.
Police said both vehicles sustained extensive damage, adding that one of the vehicles ended up in the ditch on the south side of the roadway as a result of the crash while the other vehicle ended up facing north in the westbound lane.
A 37-year-old man from Tilbury East Township was pronounced dead at the scene while a 48-year-old Windsor woman was airlifted by Ornge Air Ambulance to a hospital in London with what police called "significant but non-life-threatening injuries."
A 45-year-old Windsor man, who was a passenger in the Jeep, was taken to a local hospital in Chatham-Kent for care.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service Traffic Unit is still investigating the circumstances that led to the collision and they are asking anyone with information to contact Constable Kristen Charron at kristenc@chatham-kent.ca or call 519-355-1092.
Police issue safety reminder to drivers after handing out tickets
Chatham-Kent police are also reminding drivers to obey traffic signs -- or be prepared to pay the price.
Officers said after the crash on Talbot Trail detailed above, the CK police Traffic Management team handed out seven tickets and gave three more warnings to drivers who chose to go around the road closure signs that were posted.
Police said some of the drivers were approaching the scene at speeds of 80 kilometres per hour or higher, putting several people -- including first responders -- at risk.
Officers said drivers who go past barricades not only jeopardize the safety of those involved in the investigation and the emergency response, they can also disrupt evidence-gathering and traumatize those who inadvertently witness the aftermath of a collision.
The penalty for driving around barricades can include a fine of $110 and three demerit points.
