'Incredibly disturbing': Police release video, seek witnesses after cyclist struck in northeast Edmonton
Someone had their cell phone handy as the SUV they were riding in appeared to mow down a male on a bicycle at 42 Street and 113 Avenue around 3 a.m. in northeast Edmonton on Monday.
The video was subsequently posted on social media, showing graphic footage of the hit, including audio.
The car is heard to be accelerating as the driver veers toward the cyclist. A female laughs and there's an audible thump as the vehicle strikes the cyclist, and a young male voice says what sounds like 'Give me a cut!' and then laughs briefly before the video stops.
'It's incredibly disturbing to see such disregard for life captured on video simply for online entertainment,' says acting Staff Sgt. Richard Windover of the EPS traffic services branch.
'We're asking anyone who can recognize the voices or identities of the individuals in this video to contact police immediately so we can advance this investigation.'
A dark-coloured SUV was seen in the same area, driving erratically, and struck the 41-year-old male cyclist before speeding off.
The SUV was last seen travelling eastbound on 114 Avenue from 42 Street.
The injured cyclist was treated on scene by EMS for what initially appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries and was transferred to hospital as a precaution.
'Unfortunately, while on route to the hospital, the cyclist's condition worsened, though he currently remains in hospital in stable condition,' said an EPS news release issued Friday.
The EPS' major collisions investigation section (MCIS) is investigating and releasing security camera footage of what is believed to be the SUV involved in the collision. No make and model of the SUV have been confirmed at this time.
Officers are asking any witnesses or residents in the Beverly Heights area with dash camera or home security camera footage between the hours of 2 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 4, 2025, to please contact police.
Likewise, police are asking members of the public who may have witnessed the collision or observed suspicious activity in the neighbourhood to please come forward.
Anyone who may have witnessed or has dash cam footage of this collision is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.

B.C. man lied to steal brothers' A&W franchise, court rules
A man who tried to steal a fast food franchise owned by his two brothers was excoriated by a B.C. Supreme Court judge, who called him 'dishonest, entitled, ungrateful and jealous.' Norman and Bradley Phaneuf sued their brother, Vern Phaneuf, for claiming 50 per cent ownership of A&W restaurants they operated in Maple Ridge and for trying to cut them out of any profits from the restaurants — all because of a paperwork error. 'The consequence of this error, if allowed to stand, is that Vern … would be entitled to receive 100 per cent of the profit which was created by Norman's and Bradley's successful entrepreneurial efforts,' the judge wrote in a decision made on Thursday. The case stems from a holding company the brothers created for several new franchise locations they were planning to open in 2010 thanks to an expansion opportunity offered by A&W. All four brothers were shareholders in the holding company. Norman and Bradley, who ran the restaurants, owned 80 per cent. They offered 10 per cent each to Vern and Terry (now deceased), in non-voting class B shares, as gifts. Vern had done accounting work for the family's previous franchises and Terry had provided loans. When the ownership documents were being amended, Norman and Bradley's shares were mistakenly listed as 'non-participating,' which means they are not entitled to profits from the restaurants, while Terry and Vern's shares were 'participating,' giving them access to dividends and sale proceeds, despite only making up 20 per cent of shares. Vern, a certified public accountant with a Bachelor's degree who works as an investment banker, drew up the paperwork. Norman and Bradley, neither of which had a post-secondary education, told the judge they did not understand or know what the terms 'participating' or 'non-participating' meant. As a result of the error, which was only discovered in 2020, Vern claimed that he and Terry owned 50 per cent each of the holding company that controlled the franchises as part of a 'de facto shareholders' agreement' that would see Norman and Bradley's shares redistributed. The judge rejected the claim as 'irrational and nonsensical.' 'It defies all logic and credulity to believe that Norman and Bradley would invest heavily and work tirelessly in businesses they had no ownership interest in,' Basran wrote, calling Vern's claim 'irrational, self-interested, and a seeming product of his imagination.' 'Vern fabricated this entire 'de facto shareholders' agreement' narrative to try to take advantage of the mistake in the articles of the companies that describes the class A shares as 'non-participating', in an attempt to benefit himself,' Basran wrote. Basran praised the evidence from Norman and Bradley as 'logical, forthright, straightforward, consistent, and coherent.' The judge had far harsher comments for Vern's testimony, noting that he 'lied repeatedly and unrelentingly,' and that 'virtually every element of his evidence lacked truth, clarity, and logic.' The judge pointed out that despite claiming he always knew how the shares were structured, Vern originally denied that he created the shareholder documents. Vern also claimed that his brothers lured him to B.C. from a partnership in a Saskatchewan accounting firm, with an offer of 25 per cent ownership of one of the franchises. The judge pointed out that in reality, Vern received a 50 per cent interest in the franchise and that he had never been a partner in the accounting firm. 'This evidence cannot be reconciled because it is a fiction unsupported by any documents or logic,' the judge wrote. @njgriffiths ngriffiths@ Related B.C. woman sues psychiatrist, says prescribed drug made her gamble away her home equity, shop excessively B.C. court overrules 'biased' will that left $2.9 million to son, $170,000 to daughter
