A 48-year-old man has improved to fair condition after police say he was hit by a drunk driver while walking beside a Leamington road.
The Mexican migrant worker was in critical condition after the collision on May 5 on Road 4, just west of Road 12. He was transported to Hotel-Dieu Grace Hospital.
He is now out of the intensive care unit, but still recovering.
OPP officers say he was struck by a vehicle that then left the scene. A short while later, a man phoned police , went back to the crash site and was arrested.
Matthew Quiring, 24, of Leamington, was charged with impaired driving, exceeding 80 mgs of blood alcohol content and failing to remain at the scene of an accident causing bodily harm.
He will appear in a Leamington court on May 30.
