A Barrie woman charged with three counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm is scheduled to be back in court Oct. 16 to set a date for a plea.
Legal counsel for Cassie Korzenko, 32, appeared virtually in case management court in Barrie on Monday morning.
After three people were struck outside Sadlon Arena last winter, Korzenko was arrested at the scene and charged.
Barrie city police allege Korzenko was driving her vehicle south on Bayview Drive when it struck the pedestrians and then collided with two other vehicles, whose occupants were uninjured.
None of the allegations have been tested in court.
Following her arrest, Korzenko spent nearly two months in custody before being released. Courthouse officials stated that Korzenko was bailed out by a surety on Jan. 25, 2023.
A worker from Empower Simcoe and two men who use its services suffered serious injuries after being hit by a vehicle at Mapleview and Bayview drives in the city's south end on Dec. 1, 2022.
They were on their way to a Barrie Colts game when they were struck. The organization provides services to people with physical and intellectual disabilities.
In early January, Empower Simcoe announced the three people had been released from Toronto hospital and had returned to Barrie to recover.
The crash victims include Empower Simcoe community support worker Melanie Smith, 52, as well as two middle-aged men named Sean and Jeff, who receive support from the organization. The two men had also been involved with Special Olympics.
