A Halifax pedestrian was hit by a vehicle at a marked crosswalk on Friday afternoon after the vehicle, which had stopped for her, was rear-ended by a cargo van.

The 61-year-old woman was crossing Agricola Street where it meets Cunard Street, at the exit of the new roundabout.

The car, which was in the roundabout, had stopped to let the woman cross when it was hit from behind by a cargo van. The impact moved the car into the woman, said Halifax Regional Police.

The woman was transported to hospital and is expected to survive.

The driver of the cargo vehicle, a 35-year-old man, was issued a summary offence ticket for following too closely. He faces a fine of $233.95 and a loss of two points on his driver's licence upon conviction.
