Paris, Oct 19, (dpa\/GNA) \u2013 Following the death of a cyclist in Paris, who allegedly was deliberately run over by an SUV driver, the French Cycling Federation has called for nationwide protests on Saturday.<\/p>\n
A minute\u2019s silence is to take place in front of all town halls at 5:45 pm (1545 GMT), according to the federation\u2019s call to action issued on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can no longer tolerate this trivialization of violence on the roads. Like all other road users, cyclists and pedestrians who choose sustainable and environmentally friendly modes of transport, have a fundamental right to safety,\u201d declared the federation.<\/p>\n
In Paris, demonstrators are expected to gather at Place de la R\u00e9publique from 5 pm.<\/p>\n
After the fatal incident in central Paris on Tuesday evening, an investigation has been initiated into the 52-year-old SUV driver, on suspicion of murder, the prosecutor\u2019s office stated. He has been placed in pre-trial detention, it said.<\/p>\n
Based on witness statements and camera footage, investigators believe that the man deliberately ran over the 27-year-old cyclist following a dispute.<\/p>\n
To move through traffic more quickly, the SUV driver had apparently already driven 200 metres along a cycle lane, when he rolled over the cyclist\u2019s foot. When the cyclist struck the vehicle\u2019s bonnet, the driver initially reversed but then directed the vehicle towards the cyclist.<\/p>\n
The driver\u2019s lawyer told the broadcaster BFMTV that the man had not intended to kill the cyclist. During the course of the traffic dispute, he might have lost control of his vehicle, he said.<\/p>\n
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who has been promoting the expansion of cycle lanes in the capital for years, along with other politicians, reacted with shock to the fatal incident.<\/p>\n
The victim was a member of an association, advocating for the expansion of cycling infrastructure in Paris.
