RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment is investigating a fatal vehicle-pedestrian collision that occurred in Middle Sackville.
Yesterday, at approximately 7:15 p.m., RCMP officers, fire services, and EHS, responded to a report of a collision near the 1600 block of Sackville Dr. Investigators learned that a Honda Civic was travelling west on the roadway when it struck a pedestrian crossing the road.
The pedestrian, a 58-year-old Middle Sackville man, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver and lone occupant of the Civic, a 25-year-old Middle Sackville man, did not suffer physical injuries.
Weather conditions in the area, at the time, consisted of heavy rain and wind.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation, led by the Halifax Regional Detachment Traffic Unit, is ongoing. Currently, it's not believed that alcohol or drugs were a factor.
Investigators are asking anyone with dash cam footage of Sackville Dr., near Lively Rd. and Wilson Lake Dr., between 7 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. to come forward.
Sackville Dr. was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
Our thoughts are with the victim's loved ones at this difficult time.
