A cyclist and a cop collided during the Holy Saturday Cross Country Cycling Classic. The incident occurred near the Spanish Lookout Roundabout on the George Price Highway and was caught on camera. The cyclist involved, Bob Gabourel, took to Facebook to shed light on the incident. Gabourel says “I had an unfortunate accident that caused me to end my race early. For the last month I traverse that road daily and would hop that curve side. For us Cyclists it’s normal to cut the roundabouts… it happened so fast and never expected the officer would be on that side.” Gabourel says he suffered injuries to his eye, shoulder, and neck. He was unable to finish the race but says he wishes the officer a speedy recovery.
