Waterloo Regional Police are investigating a multi-vehicle collision in Kitchener late Thursday night.

Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Fischer-Hallman Road and Victoria Street South at approximately 11:10 p.m.

Police say a Chrysler 300, which had earlier failed to stop for officers in Waterloo, was travelling southbound on Fischer-Hallman Road at a high rate of speed and ran a red light at Victoria Street South.

According to police, the vehicle was struck by an eastbound Chevrolet. The impact sent the Chrysler into the northbound lanes, where it collided with several additional vehicles.

The driver of the Chrysler and a male passenger fled the scene on foot. Police say several open alcohol containers were found inside the vehicle.

No physical injuries were reported.

The intersection was closed for several hours as officers investigated.

The investigation remains ongoing. Charges are anticipated.
