A Nova Scotia man is mourning the loss of his wife who died suddenly after being struck in a Dartmouth crosswalk.

“All she wanted is to be accepted, and if anybody knew her, they just automatically fell in love with her,” says Chris Davis of his wife, Judy MacIsaac-Davis.

MacIsaac-Davis, 57, had been riding her mobility scooter in Dartmouth when she was struck by a pickup truck at the corner of Thistle Street and Victoria Road around 11 a.m. Saturday.

Police say the driver of the pickup truck was travelling south on Victoria Road and was attempting to make a left turn when the collision occurred.

“I could see Judy had been hit by the vehicle and the vehicle had run over her and dragged her a few feet,” says Brian Wentzell, who lives next to the scene.

“It’s not only that crosswalk, it’s everywhere,” says Davis. “People are just in a rush to get nowhere.”

MacIsaac-Daviswas taken to the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre with life-threatening injuries. She died in hospital later that day.

Heartfelt words and flowers adorn a roadside memorial at the corner of Thistle and Victoria in honour of the victim, who was a retired records manager for the provincial government.

MacIsaac-Davis was also involved in several service organizations, such as Child Find Nova Scotia, the Jaycees, and the Canadian Paraplegic Association.

“It’s really hit me kind of hard,” says family friend Allan McNeill. “Generous, kind, all my daughters knew her, and made a connection with all of them. She’s a very compassionate person, always willing to help. It was really a pleasure to know her.”

Davis says he and his wife had been married for 18 years, but had known each other for almost 50. He says he will remember her for being kind and always willing to help a friend in need.

“If anybody needed anything, she’d be there,” he says. “People call, they need anything, she would know who they should be in contact with.”

No charges have been laid against the 50-year-old male driver of the pickup truck at this time. Police say the collision remains under investigation.

“They’re following up with all the evidence in this file, which is the reconstruction of the scene, statements of the witnesses, and the driver,” says Const. Pierre Bourdages.
