Young pedestrian dies after being hit by police car

March 11th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

A 7 year old boy died in Barcelona’s Sant Joan de Déu Hospital last night just hours after being knocked down by an unmarked police car in Terrassa.
The driver, who was not responding to an emergency, later tested negative for alcohol.
An official inquiry has been launched though eye-witnesses report that there were roadworks in the street where the accident occurred, that the victim ran out in front of the car - giving the driver no time to react - and that the victim was not struck on a pedestrian crossing.

Another witness alleged that the police car was not travelling at 30km/hour nor 50km/hour!
