ACT Policing is investigating an incident early today (Friday, August 24), in which a 19-year-old pedestrian collided with a police car and received minor injuries.
The police car was on a routine, city-based patrol and turning the corner of London Circuit and Verity Lane, in Civic, when the incident occurred. The man fell to the ground and struck his head.
He was conveyed to Calvary Hospital for treatment and was later released, suffering only minor soreness.
ACT Policing’s Collision Investigation and Reconstruction Team (CIRT) is investigating with, as is standard procedure, oversight provided by the AFP’s Professional Standards.
Any witnesses to the incident who have not yet spoken to police are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
