The RCMP say a North Vancouver senior was at the wheel of an RV involved in a fatal collision with a pedestrian in Nova Scotia.
Inverness County District RCMP issued a release on Friday following the crash, which happened on Wednesday evening in Waycobah on Cape Beton.
“RCMP officers learned that a pedestrian was on the roadway when they were struck by a 2017 Ford Axis that was travelling eastbound,” the release stated. “The pedestrian, a 48-year-old Whycocomagh man, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the Ford, an 84-year-old North Vancouver woman, did not suffer physical injuries.”
The crash remains under investigation and the RCMP’s collision reconstructionist team closed the highway for several hours.
“Our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones at this difficult time,” the RCMP’s release added.
No charges have been sworn and neither the deceased nor the driver’s names have been released by authorities.
