A minor accident, which involved a child, happened on April 10.
A kid was bumped off the bike by a vehicle near the Sacred Heart School in Estevan.
“The child just received minor superficial injuries because of being knocked off the bike,” said Estevan Police Sergeant Craig Bird. “They were checked out, and the parents came down to provide the statement.”
The child had some minor scrapes from falling off the bike.
The matter is still under investigation, but Bird pointed out that it seems that the accident occurred because the driver wasn’t paying as much attention as they should.
“It sounds like they were pulling away from the sidewalk and ended up just bumping into the child and may not even realized that they bumped him, but ended up knocking him off his bike,” said Bird.
The accident happened in the school speed zone and, according to Bird, was preventable.
