Police officer injures cyclist
In http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/c...re/4606141.stm one
can read the following: "During the pursuit another police car called to deal with the incident struck a cyclist, who was seriously injured." [snip] "The patrol car called to help was in collision with the cyclist, from Stanground, Peterborough, as it travelled along Bourges Boulevard. "The 21-year-old victim was later taken to Peterborough District Hospital for treatment. "Cambridgeshire Police have suspended the driver of the police car from driving duties pending an investigation and have appealed for witnesses to the accident to come forward." I make no comment on the rights and wrongs of this. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh | PGP email preferred-key number F566DA0E I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000. |

What I found a trifle annoying was that the news report that David references above is entitled "Ramraiders hurl bricks at police"; presumably some sub-editor thinks that lowlifes hurling bricks is more attention-grabbing than a cyclist being seriously injured.

It was front page news in the local paper, not the lead story mind but it was prominent on the front page. -- Andy Leighton = "The Lord is my shepherd, but we still lost the sheep dog trials" - Robert Rankin, _They Came And Ate Us_ |

Can you remember what the headline was? Something like "Cyclist hit by police car" or at least it was on the board outside the shop. It seems that online the story is now more about the police catching the ram-raiders but at the time it was presented differently in the paper. -- Andy Leighton = "The Lord is my shepherd, but we still lost the sheep dog trials" - Robert Rankin, _They Came And Ate Us_ |
