The driver of a bus that struck and killed a 24-year-old woman last month will not be charged, said Halifax Regional Police on Tuesday.
On Oct. 31, at approximately 6:50 a.m. AT, police were called to a collision between a bus and a pedestrian at South Park Street and Spring Garden Road in downtown Halifax.
Police said the pedestrian was trying to catch up to the Halifax Transit bus when she was hit.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a news release, police said there would be no charges laid or summary offence tickets issued, adding that the investigation is now closed.
A spokesperson for the Halifax Regional Municipality previously told CBC News the city and Halifax Transit would be working with the police during the investigation, including offering up camera footage from the bus.
