Waterloo Regional Police said emergency services responded to a collision involving a pedestrian and a vehicle at the intersection of Ainslie North and Dickson Street at 10:52 a.m. Saturday. The victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which police say are not life-threatening. Police said a 73-year-old Cambridge woman has now been charged with careless driving causing bodily harm. CTV News could not independently confirm that the victim is Councilwoman and mayoral candidate Jan Liggett. District council candidate Prakash Venkataraman cited Liggett as the victim of Saturday’s crash on social media.
A witness at a bridal shop nearby said she heard sirens from an ambulance on Saturday morning. When he went outside he saw a woman lying on the ground. “She was just lying on the road. They then put a brace on her neck. She was laying with her leg out so I think she hurt her leg and then she got in the ambulance,” Cara Wing said.
