OPP say a recent truck convoy protest played a role in a fatal collision in Chatham-Kent. On Jan. 27 shortly after 9:30a.m., OPP responded to a crash on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401, just east of Bloomfield Road. “An ongoing truck convoy protest was indirectly involved and was a contributing factor to this fatal collision,” according to a statement from police. Police say a pickup truck carrying an ATV collided with a compact car. The driver of the small car suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to the hospital where he later died. He's being identified as 43-year-old Robert Charron of Chatham. Two others were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police say the vehicles involved in the collision were driving slower than normal highway speed.
