Rochon was left injured in the snow for approximately six hours until spotted in the ditch by a passing motorist. An investigation resulted in a search warrant being executed at 52-year-old MacDonald’s home where the involved vehicle was located.

The victim received severe and potentially permanent physical and physiological injuries as a result of being hit by the car.
