A pedestrian suffered serious injuries Tuesday when he was hit by a vehicle in Kitchener’s south end.
The crash occurred around 2:45 p.m. at Pioneer and Green Valley drives.
According to Waterloo Regional Police, a 38-year-old man was crossing the road when he was hit by the front corner of a car being driven by a 20-year-old Waterloo man.
“It is believed that he went up and over the windshield and landed at the rear of the vehicle,” Sgt. Jeff Cooper said.
An air ambulance was dispatched to Kitchener to transport the man to hospital injuries. A spokesperson for Ornge said the man had suffered critical injuries.
An hour after the crash occurred, a white car remained at the scene with a broken windshield. There was blood on the road behind the car, as well as a toque.
Green Valley was expected to be closed at Pioneer into Tuesday evening as police investigated the cause of the crash.
Police say they want to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision and has not already been in touch with investigators.
