The OPP has charged a Newmarket resident following a nine-month investigation into the death of a 28-year-old pedestrian.
In the early hours of May 5, 2018, Dominik Andrew Adamek of Springwater Township was walking near the intersection of County Road 53 (Wilson Drive) and Carson Road, near Barrie, when he was struck by a vehicle whose driver failed to remain at the scene.
Confident that the driver would have been aware of the deadly impact, investigators led by Detective Inspector Paula Milne of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch identified the colour, make and approximate age of the involved vehicle and released that information to the public. In October 2018, a $50,000 reward was offered for any new information to support the investigation.
On January 30, 2019, 30 yr old Maimuna Baldeh was arrested and charged with failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing death.
The accused is expected to appear in Collingwood Court on March 12th.
“By their very nature, fail to remain investigations are difficult to conclude successfully. I'm proud of our local members' dedication and collaboration with the OPP Case Manager to bring this charge forward and provide some resolution to the victim's family and our community,” says Inspector Phillip Browne, Commander – OPP Huronia West Detachment.
The OPP would like to thank the public for information provided during this investigation.
