A middle-aged man is currently suspected of manslaughter after eyewitnesses claimed he intentionally drove into a cyclist in the district of Töölö in Helsinki. The man is also suspected of a hit-and-run, as he allegedly fled the scene of the crime.
Helsinki police will move to imprison the man on Saturday at latest, says chief inspector Tuomo Lotta. Police have yet to comment further on the case.
The bicyclist was hit by a passenger car at the intersection of Tukholmankatu and Mannerheimintie on Wednesday, and subsequently died of his injuries in Töölö hospital.
