Niagara Regional Police say they’ve arrested a suspect believed to be involved with a collision that killed an e-bike rider in mid-March.
Investigators say the suspect vehicle – a grey Mazda 3 – was spotted by officers on a patrol Thursday night near Hemlock Street and Alex Avenue in Niagara Falls.
On Friday, detectives seized the vehicle, and a 26-year-old man – who identified himself as the driver – turned himself in and is facing a charge of failing to stop after an accident.
Paul Brian Fulton, 52, of Niagara Falls died in hospital after he was struck by a sedan around 11:30 p.m. on March 19 near Drummond Road and Dunn Street.
It’s believed Fulton lost control of his bike and was thrown onto the street before being struck by a dark grey Mazda-3, according to investigators.
