Hong Kong cyclist hit by ex-cop faces trial – report

Hong Kong – A cyclist who trained police on road safety issues will appear in court Monday charged with careless cycling after being knocked off his bike by a car driven by a former senior Hong Kong policeman.

Martin Turner was on his bike waiting at a set of traffic lights in August last year when he was hit by the car driven by former assistant commissioner of police Spencer Foo, the Sunday Morning Post said.

Turner, 50, was knocked to the ground and taken to hospital to be treated for cuts and bruises and tendon damage while his bike was crushed.

The Briton, who is also charged with not having a bell, is chairman of the Hong Kong Cycling Alliance, the Post said.
