Waterloo regional police say seven people have been transported to hospital, including one person by air ambulance to an out of region hospital, following a multi-vehicle crash. Police said the crash involving two vehicles occurred around 1:50 p.m. at the intersection of Manser Road and Streicher Line.
“Through investigation, it was determined that a vehicle travelling east on Streicher Line collided with a vehicle travelling north on Manser Road,” police said in a news release sent Friday morning.
The force of the impact caused both vehicles to leave the roadway and rollover, police said. The road was closed for several hours as police examined the scene. The road reopened at around 8 p.m. on Thursday.
“We've spoken to some witnesses but if there are other witnesses that we need to speak to we'd appreciate if they called in to our traffic service,” said Waterloo regional police Sgt. Byron Harding said on Thursday.
Police said the victims included six adults and a young boy.
