Source: CBC News
A cyclist has died in hospital after a Quebec City police cruiser ran over him yesterday, in an accident that at least one witness said left the man trapped under the car "in a fetal position."
“They ran over the guy, the guy ended up under the car. For an entire 15 seconds; he was under the tire in a fetal position,” Alexandre Beaulieu told Radio-Canada.
... Witnesses told Radio-Canada that they saw the man in his 50s biking in the wrong direction and that officers in the car tried to intercept him. They said they saw the cruiser back up and trap the cyclist under the car. Beaulieu said he saw the officers get out of the car, saw the man caught under the wheels, then get back into the patrol car and roll over the victim a second time. Other witnesses corroborated his account.
... The officers under investigation picked up the bike and put it in the trunk of their car, and later put it back at the scene.
