RCMP respond to vehicle-pedestrian hit and run

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. The driver proceeded to drive off without checking on the victim. The victim managed to walk home and then attend the Cobequid Community Health Centre where she was treated for minor injuries.

RCMP would like to speak with the driver of the car, which is described as being a small silver car. The driver is described as being a white female with blondish/brown hair. The vehicle was last seen turning left on to Sackville Dr. from Beaverbank Rd.
