On January 29, 2016 around 6:30 p.m. emergency crews responded to a collision involving a vehicle, pedestrian and stroller at the intersection of Queen Street and Park Avenue.
A 25-year-old Chatham woman was pushing her son in a stroller.
As she crossed Queen Street, the stroller was hit by a motorist who was turning left from Park Avenue onto Queen Street.
The two-year-old boy in the stroller was injured and transported to the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance.
He was later transferred to London for further medical treatment.
Neither the boy’s mother nor the driver of the vehicle were physically injured.
An 83-year-old Chatham woman was charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian.
The boy has since been released from hospital.
This morning, Constable John Hicks paid the boy and his mother a visit.
The boy was given a ‘monkey’ to help him recover.
