Charges have been laid after an early morning crash closed a section of Hwy. 40 between Chatham and Wallaceburg.

The OPP says the accident occurred just after 6:30am when a pickup truck turning north onto the highway from Electric Line was struck by a southbound SUV.

A 51-year-old man from Dover Centre who was driving the truck has been charged with failing to yield. Both he and the 54-year-old Wallaceburg woman driving the SUV were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
