Oshawa woman accused in Kensington Market hit-and-run granted bail

An Oshawa woman accused of a hit-and-run that left a 28-year-old man with life-threatening injuries has been granted bail.

Karen Fyfe, 31, was arrested Sunday in connection with a weekend hit-and-run near Toronto's Kensington Market.

Jay McGinn, of Toronto, suffered serious injuries after he was struck by a vehicle while waiting for passengers to exit a taxi near Dundas Street and Augusta Avenue at around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday.

His friends say he was out celebrating his girlfriend's birthday at the time of the incident.

A person who said he witnessed the incident previously told CP24 that McGinn was thrown in the air after he was struck by the Pontiac Grand Prix GT. Police say the vehicle then fled the scene.

McGinn was rushed to St. Michael's Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.

On Wednesday, some of McGinn's friends packed the Toronto court where Fyfe was granted bail. News of the judge’s decision angered some of them.

Fyfe is scheduled to appear in court at Old City Hall on June 16.
