OPP continue to investigate a multi-vehicle crash that killed an Essex County man.

Police say 23-year-old Blake Clifford died when his vehicle struck the rear of another car, sending his Chrysler Sebring into the path of an oncoming pickup truck.

CTV News initially reported that drinking and driving charges were laid against the driver of the pick-up. OPP now say no charges were laid against its driver. We apologise for any misunderstanding this may have caused.

Funeral services for Clifford will be held Wednesday in Harrow.
