The crash happened on May 18, 2011 after a chase claimed the life of a 56-year-old female pedestrian.

Bickle tried to stop a vehicle being driven by Kyle Danyliuk through White Rock. Danyliuk eventually struck Marilyn Laursen, who later died in hospital.

The Vancouver Police Department was asked to investigate Bickle’s conduct immediately after the incident.
