A pair of significant collisions in Waterloo on Thursday morning have led to road closures.

According to Waterloo Regional Police, a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Lancaster Street and Bridgeport Road has led to the closure of that intersection.

Police are asking people to avoid that area for the time being.

Right next to that closure, the police service is reporting a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Lang Crescent and Springdale Drive. As a result, Lang Crescent is closed.

More to come.
