The Hamilton Police Service is investigating a serious collision involving multiple vehicles and a pedestrian. The pedestrian remains in hospital in stable condition with life-threatening injuries.

On Wednesday, December 9, 2020, shortly before 11:00 a.m., a Hyundai SUV was travelling westbound on Cannon Street East approaching James Street North. At the same time, a GMC Sierra pick-up truck was travelling southbound on James Street. The vehicles collided in the intersection resulting in the GMC truck mounting the curb and striking a pedestrian who was standing on the sidewalk waiting to cross. The truck came to rest against a Volkswagen Toureg, just south of the intersection.
