Hamilton Police are continuing to investigate a motor vehicle collision.
On Wednesday, May 22, 2024, at approximately 6:30 p.m., a serious collision occurred at the intersection of Upper James Street and English Church Road. A 2012 Mercedes C300, driven by a 19-year-old Hamilton man, was heading northbound when a southbound 2011 Toyota CTX, driven by a 76-year-old Hamilton man, made a left turn directly in front of the Mercedes. The Mercedes struck the Toyota broadside, causing it to veer into a roadside ditch.
Both males were transported to the hospital. The 19-year-old was later released, while the 76-year-old remains in the hospital in critical but stable condition.
