An off-duty nurse was first on scene and administered CPR. Emergency Health Services attended and continued CPR before transporting to a local hospital were the male was pronounced deceased.

The driver of the vehicle that was involved was cooperative and told police that he was traveling eastbound on Scotstown Road toward Grenada Crescent at approximately 20-25 km/hr when he hit the male on the passenger side of his car. The driver reported that he did not see the victim as he was dressed in dark clothing and in an area where there wasn’t a street light.

Witnesses also provided similar information about the victim’s dark clothes and the difficulties seeing him.
