Accident – Death – Obituary News : On a fateful evening of February 26, 2024, tragedy struck in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as 22-year-old Brody Shaw of Bedford met with an untimely demise following a fatal crash near Skye cres. The incident unfolded during a routine traffic stop by members of the RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment in the 1800 block of Hammonds Plains Rd.
The attempted traffic stop took a tragic turn when a black GMC pickup truck, evading the officers, swiftly turned onto Glen Arbour Way, only to crash moments later near Skye Cres. The vehicle left the roadway, colliding with a power pole before coming to rest in the ditch. Sadly, Mr. Shaw, the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, was found outside the wreckage and pronounced deceased at the scene by Emergency Health Services (EHS) personnel.
In the wake of this devastating event, the RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment has referred the incident to the Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) for a thorough investigation. SiRT operates independently and is tasked with examining all serious incidents stemming from police actions in Nova Scotia.
Upon arrival at the crash site, RCMP Collision Reconstruction and Analyst Services swiftly began assessing the circumstances surrounding the incident. As part of the investigative process, Glen Arbour Way was temporarily closed to facilitate the examination, with normal traffic flow restored once the scene was secured.
The referral to SiRT underscores the commitment to transparency and accountability in addressing the complexities surrounding the tragic incident. It is imperative to allow the independent investigation to unfold without interference, ensuring a comprehensive examination of the events leading to Mr. Shaw’s unfortunate demise.
