A collision in the area of Elm St. and Yonge St. has sent one man to hospital with serious injuries and briefly closed down Yonge St. between Gerrard St. and Gould St.
Paramedics received the call just before 6 a.m. Wednesday to attend to a crash between a motorcycle and an SUV. The driver of the motorcycle was rushed to the hospital with a lower-body injury that was initially reported as life-threatening. An update from the hospital however has confirmed that the man is not in life-threatening condition, although the injury is serious and possibly “life-altering”, according to police.
A section of Yonge St. was closed down immediately after the crash, but it was reopened around 7:30 a.m.
Police are investigating.

GWS Rider.
SUV driver was charged.
from cp24.com
A motorcycle rider is in hospital with serious injuries and the driver of a SUV has been charged following a collision in the city’s downtown core on Wednesday morning.
Const. Clint Stibbe says the 28-year-old motorcycle rider was travelling southbound on Yonge Street at around 5 a.m. when the 52-year-old driver of the northbound SUV attempted to make a left hand turn onto Elm Street and struck the bike.
Though the cause of the crash is not immediately clear, Stibbe said speed may have been partly responsible for the severity of injuries.
“The damage to the SUV was quite extensive, so there probably was an element of speed there,” he said.
It is not immediately clear what charge the SUV driver is facing.
The motorcycle rider remains in hospital in serious but non-life threatening condition

Agreed. Combined with an earlier statement of "lower body injury" I'm guessing paralysis or amputation.
