Waterloo Regional Police reported that a 22-year-old man was riding an e-bike eastbound in the bike lane but traveling in the wrong direction when he collided with a 50-year-old man riding in the correct direction. Both riders were taken to the hospital with serious, though non-life-threatening, injuries.
The area was temporarily closed for investigation but has since reopened. Police are asking anyone with information or video footage of the incident to contact them at 519-570-9777 ext. 8856.
