Illicit drugs worth up to $ 40,000 and a large amount of cash were found in the scene of a deadly collision between an electronic bicycle rider and a police car in the center of Sydney this morning.
Research on how the 48 -year -old indigenous man who rode the electric bicycle died in Allen Street in Waterloo has been launched.
In an update, the assistant commissioner Peter McKenna, of the Central Metropolitan Region of the NSW Police, said an interim sergeant drove the police car when the vehicle and the electronic bicycle hit each other around 3 am.
“I don’t know what the officer’s intention was at that time, but that will be part of the investigation,” he said.
The police officer immediately served before the paramedics arrived, but the man died on the scene.
Early this morning, the man’s body could be seen along the way. The police car was in a embankment and a road sign demolished.
Police found drugs, supposedly three ounces of methamphetamine, or ice, with a value of $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 on the accident site, as well as $ 10,000 in cash.
“Then, in normal circumstances, if we find that amount of drugs and effective in any person, we claim that he is in his person with the purpose of supply,” McKenna said.
The police records established that the man was indigenous and the officers were in the process of contacting their relatives.
An investigation of critical incidents to the death of man has been launched. Will examine police actions in the period prior to fatality.
The findings will be reviewed by the Command of Professional Standards with Supervision of the Commission of Conduct of the Application of the Law.
A report for forensic information will be prepared.
