Minor collision with ION train delays LRT

An ION train was stopped at the intersection of Ottawa and Mill Streets due to a minor collision on Sunday.

ION service was back up and running shortly after a minor crash with one of the trains.

First responders were called to the intersection of Mill Street South and Ottawa Street South in Kitchener around 12:30 p.m. on Sunday.

A red sedan reportedly hit the corner of an LRT train and caused minor scratches.

Officials say there were no injuries.

Passengers on the train were taken off and put on a GRT bus to go further down the line.

ION tweeted shortly after 1 p.m. that regular service had resumed.

The incident marks the fifth collision with an ION train and the first one since the official launch of the LRT on Friday.
