A 68-year-old woman from Keeseekoowenin First Nation is in the intensive care unit at Brandon Regional Health Centre after being hurt last Friday in what her family believes was a hit-and-run.

Elizabeth Ann Bone was found injured on the driveway outside her home on Keeseekoowenin reserve on July 19 by her common-law husband between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., her son, Anthony Bone, told The Sun on Tuesday.

Elizabeth’s husband then went across the street to call emergency services from the phone at her daughter’s house.

The vehicle fled the scene and Bone is recovering from multiple serious injuries at the hospital.

Anthony said his mother suffered several broken bones as well as external and internal injuries, necessitating her to be put in a medically induced coma until Monday.

She has since regained some degree of consciousness, but is unable to talk because of a breathing tube. Anthony said his mother is being kept on a ventilator because of lingering heart murmurs.

Keeping watch over their mother are Bone’s children, who are taking shifts travelling from out of town into Brandon. The first shift was taken by Anthony and sister Kimberly Monias, who were going to be relieved by their brothers Tuesday evening.

According to Anthony, his family spoke with RCMP on Tuesday about the incident. Bone’s family is still uncertain of what exactly occurred that evening.

The Sun reached out to Manitoba RCMP to get further details, but did not hear back by press time.
