“The pedestrian, a 24-year-old woman, was struck by a Halifax Transit bus that she was attempting to catch up to,” the release read.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

A GoFundMe account later identified the victim as Satinder Kaur.

Her husband, who is being supported by the Maritime Sikh Society, wrote that his wife had been on her way to work at the time. The GoFundMe states Kaur was originally from India and had come to Canada to “carve out a life for herself” while also supporting her family.
