Driver injured in crash with ION train in Uptown Waterloo


Hard to know what happened but from that picture it looks as though the car might have been trying to access the road going the wrong way on a one-way driveway? I'm not very familiar with this area from memory so it could just be a confusing perspective.

And the counter goes back to zero days....

I believe that is Kuntz Lane at King St. The construction in the background appears to be the new building at George and King where the YNCU was. Due to other construction on Kuntz Lane (might be related to the building, I don’t know), it is closed in the middle and while they don’t appear to have formally adjusted the one-way signage, it has to be considered in abeyance.

Entering King St. at that point is not really affected by the presence of the LRT. Whether the curb lane has the occasional LRV or a regular mix of trucks and cars, it’s just traffic and a turn into said traffic. So it’s not obvious why the driver would have made a mistake.
