A 24-year-old man who was struck by a vehicle on a native community northeast of Chatham was still fighting for his life in a London hospital Tuesday.

Chatam-Kent OPP say a Chrysler 300 turning onto Centre Street on the Moraviantown First Nation collided with three pedestrians walking down the road Saturday around 1:40 a.m.

Pedestrian Bailey Jacobs, 16, died at the scene.

A man, 24, was taken to London Health Sciences Centre where he was in critical condition Tuesday.

A 17-year-old female was treated and released from hospital.

The driver of the car, a 21-year-old Moraviantown man, wasn’t injured.

“He was detained and then he was released,” said OPP Const. Jay Denorer, adding the crash remains under investigation.

Chatham-Kent OPP are assisting Delaware Nation police with the investigation.

Moraviantown, 35 kilometres east of Chatham, has a population of 404, according to 2011 census figures from Statistics Canada.

Jacobs lived in Moraviantown but attended nearby Ridgetown District secondary school, according to her Facebook profile.

A Lambton-Kent District school board spokesperson declined comment Tuesday.

A visitation for Jacobs will be held Thursday at the Delaware Nation Community Centre. Her funeral is Friday at the same location.
