Cop car runs over rider

-

AN Adelaide teenager remains in hospital with a broken leg and cracked pelvis after a police car crashed into his motorbike during a routine traffic stop.

A friend of the injured 17year-old said they were riding together on Sunday night when a patrol officer pulled them over and appeared to accidental­ly press the accelerato­r in his car.

“The cop car just went straight over the top of him, just full accelerati­on, taking him on to the curb,” Brodie Mewett-Sweet said.

SA police are investigat­ing the collision.
