Commuters looking to hop on the ION Tuesday endured another service disruption – the second in as many days.

Grand River Transit reported just before 11 a.m. that ION trains were not running between Willis Way/Waterloo Park Station and Kitchener Market Station: a large swath of the rail line that runs between Waterloo and Kitchener.

Police confirmed there was a collision shortly after 10:30 a.m. in the King Street West and Agnes Street area involving a vehicle and the LRT.

No was injured and the investigation is ongoing.
