Fischer-Hallman Road reopens after two-vehicle crash

Police continue to investigate a two-vehicle crash in the area of Fischer-Hallman Road and University Avenue West that brought a lengthy closure during the Tuesday morning drive.

It was around 6 a.m. when traffic spotters reached out to 570 NewsRadio with reports of a collision at the intersection, right on the border between Kitchener and Waterloo.

Regional police later confirmed a closure had been put in place on Fischer-Hallman Road, between Glasgow Street and Thorndale Drive, for a collision investigation.

Initial details surrounding that crash were limited, although a spokesperson with the service said one of the involved drivers was transported to local hospital.

An update provided just before 9 a.m. said that the closure in the area had been lifted.

The investigation is being handled by the Traffic Services Unit and police provided another update Tuesday afternoon, indicating that charges were anticipated.
