Highway 7 between Kitchener and Guelph was closed for several hours Wednesday morning after a two-car collision.
OPP were called to the scene at between Shantz Station Road and Wellington Road 32 at around 6:45 a.m. The road was closed shortly thereafter and did not reopen until around 10 a.m.
OPP Const. Joshua Cunningham said that a 19-year-old Kitchener man was driving west across the highway when, after his car touched the median, he overcorrected and drifted into the eastbound lane, hitting another car driven by a 37-year-old Kitchener man.
