Collision kills two beloved geese who frequent Nova Scotia pond:police
HALIFAX — Two geese are dead after being hit by a vehicle at a crosswalk the popular birds use to access a pond at a park in Dartmouth, N.S.
Police say a man was driving on Prince Albert Road during the rush hour Wednesday when he struck three of the geese, who were crossing over from the Elliott Street area to Sullivan’s Pond.
Police say the driver didn’t see the birds as they crossed the road.
One goose died at the scene, while a second injured bird was taken to a veterinarian and later died — a third goose swam to an island in the pond and is being monitored by volunteers.
