An 84-year-old woman is “fighting for her life” after she was violently assaulted following a crash in Ajax on Wednesday.
Provincial police say between 10:45 a.m. and 11 a.m., two vehicles were involved in a crash on the Salem Road ramp to the eastbound Highway 401.
OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said in a social media post that the woman was then assaulted by the other driver, who fled the scene.
The elderly woman was taken to a trauma centre where she is “fighting for her life.”
Police are searching for a man between 20 to 35 years of age with long black hair and tattoos on his arms and chest. He was last seen driving a white/beige-coloured sedan.
