Guelph police have charged three drivers after three separate collisions involving pedestrians were reported across the city within less than two hours on Wednesday afternoon. None of the injuries were considered life-threatening.
The first incident occurred shortly after 1:30 p.m. at Cassino Avenue and William Street, where a man in his 20s was struck while crossing the intersection. He sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment.
At approximately 3:15 p.m., police received a report of another collision at Gordon Street and Arkell Road. The driver told police they had struck a female pedestrian and then drove her to Guelph General Hospital, where she received treatment for facial injuries.
Minutes later, officers responded to a third collision at Eramosa Road and Stevenson Street. A woman in her 70s was struck by a left-turning vehicle while crossing within the crosswalk. She was taken to hospital with a suspected broken arm.
Police confirmed that all three drivers were charged under the Highway Traffic Act.
