Halifax Regional police responded to Sylvia Avenue in Spryfield at about 5:45 p.m. on Nov. 26.

The 67-year-old man who was struck was taken to hospital, where he later died.

Police say the vehicle was driven by a 65-year-old man.

“The investigation is ongoing, and at this time, charges are not anticipated in relation to the collision,” police noted in a release on Monday.

This is the second fatal pedestrian collision in the city in the span of a week.

Two days earlier, 27-year-old Suete Chan was struck and killed while in a marked crosswalk on Pleasant Street in Dartmouth.
