Police have now laid charges in a midsummer collision in Milton between an SUV and an e-bike.

The crash happened shortly after midnight on Aug. 18 when police say a Jeep Compass hit an e-bike in the northbound lanes of Trafalgar Road north of Lower Base Line.

A collision reconstruction team determined that the Jeep, driven by a 24-year-old woman from Burlington, collided with the rear of the e-bike, which was being ridden by a 35-year-old man from Mississauga.

The rider was transported to Hamilton General Hospital with what police at the time called “life-altering” injuries.
