Three people were taken to hospital after a collision involving a truck, a minivan and two transport trucks in Elmira on Tuesday afternoon, according to Waterloo Regional Police.
As of noon on Thursday, the campaign has raised more than $200,000, with organizers saying the money is earmarked for helping the musicians who appear to be out of a job.
The victim told Waterloo regional police his personal items were taken by two men before they threw him out of a moving vehicle. He was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
