Witnesses say incident happened after luxury car driver and cyclist had heated roadside argument
Prosecutors in Paris have opened a murder investigation after the driver of a luxury SUV reportedly ran over a cyclist, crushing him to death, after a heated roadside argument in the centre of the capital.
The cyclist, who was knocked off his bike, banged on the car’s bonnet and argued with the driver before the two men continued on their separate ways. Soon after, eight witnesses reportedly said, the SUV appeared to head straight for the cyclist. Jeanne d’Hauteserre, the mayor of the 8th arrondissement, where the incident happened, described it as “extraordinarily violent”, adding that when she arrived at the scene some time afterward witnesses were “still on the pavement in shock”.
