A woman from Halifax is reaching out on social media as she heals from a hit-and-run incident.
Avia Raiche-Marsden feels her life has become chaotic since she was hurt in the accident last weekend.
As a medical resident, she finds it difficult to transition from her hospital work to dealing with concussion symptoms and memory issues.
“It’s a stark contrast from my previous routine, to waking up each day and spending the first few hours just trying to recognize where I am,” she described.

Halifax Regional Police reported that they responded to a two-car crash on April 19 at 11:10 p.m. at the intersection of Preston Street and Jubilee Road.
Constable John MacLeod stated, “We want the public to prioritize their safety, and after a collision, they should move to a secure spot if possible and contact the necessary emergency services.”
Over the past five years, incidents of hit-and-run accidents have varied, with a drop in such cases reported this year compared to 2024.
As the investigation into Raiche-Marsden’s case continues, her video on social media shared on April 22 seeking public assistance has gained considerable attention.
Some witnesses provided information regarding the vehicle and the individuals believed to be responsible for the incident.
“There have been numerous chances for them to step forward, yet they haven’t. This indicates a disregard for the harm they’ve caused,” she stated.
“It deeply troubles me on a moral level.”
