An electric bicycle (e-bike) rider was charged after being injured in a collision with an SUV in Kawartha Lakes early Wednesday morning.
Emergency crews responded to the collision on Emily Park Road after 5 a.m. just south of Highway 7. Provincial police say both vehicles were travelling north when the SUV struck the e-bike.

The rider, a 27-year-old from Seabright, was charged with having improper lighting on a motor assisted bicycle under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act.
