A 23-year-old man was taken to the hospital with serious injuries after he was hit by an SUV on King Street North in Waterloo, Ontario, on the morning of March 11, 2026.

The Waterloo Regional Police Service arrived at the scene just north of Hickory Street East at approximately 4:45 a.m. The man’s injuries are described as serious but are not considered life-threatening.

The Waterloo Regional Police Service Traffic Unit closed King Street North for several hours to examine the site of the accident. This investigation is currently ongoing as officers work to determine what caused the collision.

Local records show that busy main roads like King Street often have more accidents involving people on foot than smaller residential streets. Police continue to remind drivers and pedestrians to be extra careful at intersections, especially during the early morning hours when it is harder to see.
