On Wednesday at around 5:15 pm, a marked police car in Lara, Geelong’s north, hit a teenager riding an e-bike from behind inside a kindergarten car park near Waverley Road. Footage shared on Facebook shows the collision and subsequent tumble of the teenage rider across the bitumen, causing shock among viewers.
