Types of Car Accidents
As Kitchener celebrated 100 years of city-hood in 2012, it also celebrated a revitalized downtown area where pedestrian friendly sidewalks and bike racks were added to encourage other modes of transportation. This also increased the risk of pedestrian and bicycle accidents.
Some other common types of car accidents in Kitchener include:
The long stretch of highway in the area can also lead to multi-vehicle accidents, also known as pileups. In March 2014, a 20-car pileup was reported on Highway 201 near Kitchener.
Causes of Car Accidents
The circumstances of each auto collision can vary, particularly the causes of the accident. Some of the most common causes of car accidents in Kitchener include:
- Driving under the influence
- Speeding
- Bad weather (Ice, Blowing Snow, Heavy Rains, etc.)
- Texting and driving
If you or a loved one has been involved in an auto accident, seek medical attention right away to determine if you have been injured. You will also need to contact your insurance company to report the collision.

Common Car Accident Injuries
According to the Ministry of Transportation, more than 1,000 people were injured in Kitchener in 2010 due to an auto accident. Many of these accidents were caused by negligent or reckless driving which means that the victim was likely unaware that the accident was about to occur.
The sudden force of an unexpected impact can lead to a number of injuries, including (but not limited to):
- Broken bones
- Whiplash
- Herniated disc
- Concussion
- Lacerations
- Deep tissue bruising
It is important that auto accident victims seek medical assistance directly following a collision as some types of injuries may not be visible. Additionally, adrenaline rushes and shock can prevent the victim from experiencing pain, weakness, dizziness and other symptoms commonly associated with various auto accident injuries.
