BARRIE, ONT. --
South Simcoe Police are actively searching for two drivers involved in a hit-and-run on Friday in Bradford that sent a 65-year-old woman to a trauma centre in serious condition.
Police and the woman's family are pleading with the drivers to turn themselves in.
"We don't believe that you intended for this to happen. Humans panic sometimes when things like this take place," said Acting Staff Sgt. David Phillips on Friday.
Police said Jasuina Pereira was crossing West Park Avenue on Holland Street West on Jan. 22 shortly before 7 p.m. when a white SUV struck her. They say the impact threw her into the air, sending her crashing to the ground, where she was hit by a grey sedan just 16 seconds later.
