A London police officer, at the scene of a fatal crash in west London, was struck early Saturday by a driver who’s now facing alcohol-related charges.
The chain-reaction played out over about two hours early Saturday on Col. Talbot Rd. near the on-ramps to Highway 401 and Highway 401, police say.
The first collision happened just minutes after midnight at the intersection of Col. Talbot and Decker Dr., a crash so severe police say both vehicles landed off the road.
A 74-year-old man from St. Thomas — his name hasn’t yet been made public, pending notification of family — died at the scene, police say.
John Ewart, 51, of Dutton is facing a raft of charges, including impaired driving causing death.
