Waterloo Regional Police continue to investigate a serious collision that occurred in the Sportsworld area of Kitchener on Thursday.

Emergency services responded to that call around 7:25 p.m. in the area of King Street East near Sportsworld Drive, for reports of a crash between a Jeep and a Mitsubishi.

Police say the person behind the wheel of the jeep, identified as a 38-year-old Cambridge man, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Two occupants of the involved Mitsubishi were also transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, including the 83-year-old Kitchener man driving the vehicle, and a passenger.

While the investigation is still ongoing, police have said that charges are anticipated.

That crash closed the intersection for several hours, but has since been reopened to traffic.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to reach out to police or Crime Stoppers.
