“Initial reports indicated that a motorcycle and a sedan had collided and that the rider of the motorcycle was seriously injured,” police stated in a press release at the time.

The driver of the motorcycle, a 61-year-old from Guelph, was transported to a trauma centre with life-altering injuries, while the driver of the sedan and two passengers were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

On Jan. 13 the OPP announced Abraham Matwos, 34, of Kitchener, was charged with careless driving causing bodily harm.

He is to appear in Guelph court at a later date.
