It was determined that a 15-year-old was riding their bicycle westbound along the side of the roadway on Highway 89 when they were struck by a motor vehicle from behind. As a result, the rider was thrown from the bicycle and suffered serious non-life-threatening injuries. He was transported to a local area hospital and then transferred to a Hamilton hospital for further treatment.

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort.
