A 52-year-old e-bike rider was seriously injured in a collision with a Toyota Camry in Kitchener on Monday night, leading to charges against both individuals involved.
Waterloo Regional Police said emergency crews responded to the crash on Victoria Street North near Frederick Street at approximately 9:45 p.m.
The cyclist was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, while the 57-year-old Toyota driver from Woolwich Township was unharmed.
The driver was charged with making a turn when it was not safe to do so. The e-bike rider also faces several charges after police determined the vehicle exceeded provincial limits for motor size and speed, classifying it as a motor vehicle. The charges relate to licensing, registration, permits, insurance and driving while suspended.
Nearby roads, which had been closed for several hours during the investigation, have since reopened.
