Bromont Policeman dies after being hit by truck

A police officer was hit by a truck in the eastern township of Bromont Thursday. The 37 year old former RCMP officer died from injuries.

Vincent Roy was struck while giving out a ticket on the side of the road to another vehicle. But police say alcohol and speeding were not involved. And they are treating it as an accident.

All twenty officers in the Bromont force are being treated for shock and took the day off.

Provincial police will take over in the meantime.
