HALIFAX – A 7-month-old baby in a stroller was knocked to the ground during the latest pedestrian-vehicle accident in Halifax.
According to Halifax Regional Police, the collision happened at Lacewood Drive and Willett Street around 7:30 p.m. Monday.
A 17-year-old woman was walking with her infant in a stroller, when an eastbound vehicle struck her in a marked crosswalk. According to a witness, the impact sent the stroller flying. Both the mother and baby were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
