Halifax Regional Police said in a press release that they were called to the Spring Garden Road scene at about 7:30 p.m.

The man, 43, was driving southbound on Dresden Row when he hit the 37-year-old pedestrian as she walked eastbound on a marked crosswalk at the Spring Garden Road intersection, according to police.
The driver then turned westward onto the road and accelerated into the business; he suffered minor injuries.
He was given a ticket for failing to stop at a red light and failing to yield to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk.
In a comment, which included a winking emoji character, on the same Facebook post, the store wrote: “Well, we’re having a sale. But we don’t offer drive-thru.”
