Alberta police watchdog investigates whether Mountie hit pedestrian who died
FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — An agency that investigates Alberta police is looking into whether an RCMP vehicle ran over a pedestrian that had already been hit on a highway by a pickup truck.
The 41-year-old man died at the scene early Sunday on Highway 881 about 75 kilometres south of Fort McMurray.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says in a release that an officer was initially responding to a call about a man walking along the road.
Another call then came in about the man being struck by a truck.
