Halifax District RCMP is investigating a hit and run involving a pedestrian. This is the second incident of this nature to be reported to RCMP in the past two days.

Shortly after 7 a.m. yesterday, a 27-year-old woman was crossing Sackville Dr. in a marked crosswalk when she was struck by a vehicle. The woman fell to the ground and the vehicle stopped.
