A two vehicle crash in Stratford involving a motorcycle sent a teen to hospital with what police are calling "serious injuries."

The Stratford Police Service says it happened on Downie Street at Douro Street on Thursday morning. A car and a motorcycle were involved in the crash.

The crash sent the 18-year-old male rider of the motorcycle to Stratford General Hospital with serious injuries after he collided with a car being driven by an 81-year-old woman.

Police later said that the motorcycle driver has been charged with careless driving, as well as not having insurance or proper licence plates.
