A 70-year-old driver has been ticketed with failing to stop at a red light and failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk after his car hit a 23-year-old woman in Halifax.

She was taken to hospital with injuries that aren't life threatening.

If he's convicted, the male driver faces a $693.95 fine and the loss of four points on his licence for failing to yield to a pedestrian and a $176.45 fine and the loss to two points for failing to stop at a red light.
