Someone is going to be charged for a motorcycle collision in Kitchener that left a 19-year-old in hospital. 

Waterloo regional Police say it happened just before 4:30 Wednesday afternoon on Lackner Boulevard, near Victoria Street North.

Police say a Dodge pick-up truck and a Honda motorcycle were involved in the collisions. A portion of Lackner Boulevard was closed for several hours for the investigation and has since been reopened.

The young man from Kitchener driving the bike suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say they expect to lay charges, but for now are still investigating. 

Any witnesses, and especially anyone with video of the incident, is urged to call Waterloo Regional Police Traffic Services Unit at 519-570-9777, extension 8856.
