PUSLINCH – A Kitchener man has been charged with careless driving in a three-vehicle collision on Tuesday that resulted in one person being airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.

Emergency crews responded to the scene, at the intersection of Gore Road and Wellington Road 35 in Puslinch Township, on Oct. 8 at about 3:30pm.

“One person was transported by ORNGE to a trauma centre with serious non-life-threatening injuries,” states an Oct. 9 press release from the Wellington County OPP.

“Other drivers sustained minor injuries and were not required to be taken to hospital.”

Anvar Kurdistani, 77, of Kitchener, was charged with careless driving causing bodily harm, driving without insurance and possessing unmarked fine-cut tobacco.

The accused is to appear in Guelph court at a later date.
