Hit-and-run victim in Cape Breton identified

A mother is being mourned after a hit-and-run in Albert Bridge.

A GoFundMe for Cassie Reid describes the loss as “heartbreaking” and says she left behind “four beautiful children”.

The money will go towards funeral expenses and to support her children.

“Any amount you are able to contribute would be deeply appreciated,” said friend of the family Cheryl Christmas.

“Thank you for your kindness and support.”

Police say the 23-year-old victim was found on Louisburg Highway near Hills Road around noon on Sunday after what they believe was an overnight collision.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
