MAXVILLE, Ontario – A Moose Creek man is fighting for his life after a hit-and-run collision on County Road 22 on Christmas Eve.

OPP Const. Joel Doiron told Seaway News on Tuesday (Dec. 29), “the man is still in the hospital, and in bad shape.”
“We are focusing on the fact he would’ve been hit by a vehicle – and are retracing his path, which will hopefully lead us to what caused the injuries he sustained,” said Doiron.
