The Waterloo Regional Police Service is investigating a crash that left one person seriously injured.

In a social media post on Wednesday at 1:25 p.m., police said officers were responding to “a major collision” near Victoria Street North and Lancaster Street West in Kitchener.

The intersection was closed for the investigation.

Witnesses told CTV News a red SUV hit the back of a pickup truck.

A nearby business owner and employees jumped in to offer help.

“I was wearing my noise cancelling headphones and it was loud enough that I took my headphones off, thinking something dropped off a car,” David, a witness, said.

He also told CTV News he saw someone in the SUV who was unconscious.

“Luckily ambulance and firetrucks came soon. They broke the window, got the guy out and got him out of there within 10 minutes,” he added.
