The 64-year-old man on the motorcycle was taken to a hospital outside Waterloo Region. His injuries were only described as serious.

The driver of the Jeep, a 58-year-old man, was not hurt.

Police initially closed the intersection, as well as the Highway 85 exit to Lancaster Street, for the investigation.

Both have since reopened.

Investigators are asking anyone who was in the area and witnessed the crash, or has dash cam video, to contact police at 519-570-9777, ext. 8856.
