Motorcycle rider sues RCMP, 6 officers after 2023 collision with police vehicle | CBC News

A man who was injured after his motorcycle collided with an RCMP vehicle is suing the RCMP and several officers claiming there was excessive use of force.

The collision happened in August 2023 when the plaintiff Daniel Leclair was driving his motorcycle on Highway 5 near Dauphin. Leclair made a U-turn on the highway after realizing he made a wrong turn, the lawsuit says.

It alleges a black sport utility vehicle "deliberately collided with the rear of the plaintiff's motorcycle at a high rate of speed," which threw the plaintiff from his motorcycle and made him realize immediately that he had broken ribs.
