KITCHENER — A 73-year-old Kitchener man has died from his injuries after an unusual collision Thursday.

Around 3 p.m. John Gaudet was struck by a Canada Post box after it was knocked down during a collision involving two cars at Highland Road East and Heiman Street in Kitchener, Waterloo Regional Police say.

The crash occurred when a black vehicle, possibly a Chrysler, turned left from Heiman on to Highland and cut off a second vehicle.

After several collisions with other vehicles and objects, the Canada Post box was struck and hit Gaudet as he walked on the sidewalk.

He was taken to hospital with serious injuries and died Sunday.

Other drivers were treated for minor injuries.

Waterloo Regional Police are classifying the incident as a hit and run and continue to investigate.

The black vehicle failed to remain at the scene and was last seen westbound on Highland toward Stirling Avenue in Kitchener.

Anyone with information should contact police at 519-653-7700, ext. 8719 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
