Guelph police have laid charges against a Guelph man following a two-vehicle collision Wednesday afternoon.

Police say they were called to the area of Gordon Street and College Avenue around 12:15 p.m. after a 2002 black Acura allegedly ran a red light striking a 2002 blue Honda Civic that was attempting to turn into a nearby parking lot.

The Acura also struck a nearby tree.

Police say that a number of pedestrians were in the area at the time and but none of them was injured.
