Police investigate after a marked police vehicle collides with a teenage e-bike rider in a car park outside a kindergarten in Geelong. Footage shared online shows the teenager riding the e-bike when the police car hits him from behind, sending him tumbling across the bitumen.
According to reports, the collision occurs on Wednesday and the rider is taken to hospital after the crash. The West Australian, PerthNow and other outlets state the incident prompts action by the police force’s Professional Standards unit, while 7News Australia says an investigation is underway. The coverage focuses on the video evidence and the response by police, including the review process following the reported crash.
While outlets describe the same event and vehicle-rider contact, the emphasis varies slightly between highlighting the “shocking” nature of the footage and outlining that an internal professional conduct investigation has been launched.
