The condition of three pedestrians who were struck by a vehicle at a Barrie intersection continues to improve, according to a statement from Empower Simcoe on Friday.
"Empower Simcoe is very grateful for your outpouring of thoughts, prayers and wishes of support toward the individuals impacted by the car accident on December 1st. The condition of Community Support Worker Melanie Smith, Jeff Janes and the second individual supported by Empower Simcoe, whose identity is not being disclosed, continues to improve. All three individuals remain in a Toronto area hospital," the statement said.
The three were struck as they crossed Bayview Drive at Mapleview Drive. The trio was on their way to the Barrie Colts hockey game at Sadlon Arena.
A 32-year-old Barrie woman has been charged with three counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm.
Empower Simcoe says a GoFundMe page has been established for anyone who would like to support the three individuals and their families impacted by the collision.
