Annapolis District RCMP is investigating a fatal collision involving a pedestrian and a vehicle that occurred in Granville Beach.

On November 24, at approximately 6:30 p.m., RCMP officers, fire services, and EHS responded to a report of a collision in the 4600 block of Granville Rd.

Upon arrival, officers learned that two women were assisting a man in the roadway when one of the women was hit by a Hyundai Elantra.

The man was displaying signs of impairment, and a roadside breath demand was conducted. The 74-year-old man from Port Wade was arrested and is facing charges of Operation of a Motor Vehicle while Impaired and Operation of a Motor Vehicle while over 80mg%. He was released and is scheduled to appear in Annapolis Royal Provincial Court at a later date.

Granville Rd. was closed for several hours while an RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the location of the collision.
