Waterloo Regional Police are responding to a series of collisions on a road in Cambridge, prompting a significant emergency response and road closures.
Emergency Response on Scene
The incidents were reported on December 7, 2025. Police, fire, and paramedic services were dispatched to the location following multiple calls. Details on the exact number of vehicles involved or the specific cause are still under investigation by the Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS).
Road Closed, Investigation Underway
The roadway has been closed to allow for emergency operations and a thorough police investigation. Initial reports from the scene suggest that speed may have been a contributing factor in the chain of events. This echoes concerns from a separate, fatal crash in Pitt Meadows where speed was also cited as a likely cause.
Authorities have not released information on potential injuries, but the scale of the response indicates a serious incident. Drivers are being urged to avoid the area and seek alternate routes until the police investigation concludes and the scene is cleared.
Winter Driving Hazards
While the specific road conditions in Cambridge at the time are not detailed, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the increased hazards during the winter driving season. Across the province, communities are grappling with cold weather alerts, like the one issued for the Grand Erie region, and winter-related injuries reported by hospitals such as Windsor Regional.
The WRPS is expected to provide further updates as the investigation progresses. The priority remains ensuring public safety, managing traffic around the closure, and determining the precise sequence of events that led to the multiple collisions.
