Parking lot stunt badly hurts NV teen RCMP expect to interview driver of car two teens may have jumped on Jane Seyd jseyd@nsnews.com
NORTH Vancouver RCMP are continuing to investigate a bizarre incident that has left a 16-year-old male Seycove secondary student in critical condition in hospital after he fell off the bumper of a moving vehicle Friday night.
Police said the Grade 11 teen had been riding on the bumper of a Volkswagen Golf in the parking lot of Seycove secondary school around 10:30 p.m. when he fell off and sustained serious injuries. The teen has since undergone surgery and remained in Vancouver General Hospital on Monday. Police said the driver of the car left the scene before officers arrived but he has since been identified. Police are still hoping to speak with him, said Cpl. Peter DeVries, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP detachment. Devries said two teenagers were apparently involved in riding on the rear bumper of the car. The second teen wasn’t injured. Police don’t know if the teens had arranged with the driver to jump on the bumper or if the driver even knew they were there, said DeVries. See Counsellors page 3

THE North Shore saw its first bear killing of 2010 over the weekend when police were forced to kill a black bear last Friday after it raided several refrigerators and garbage’s in a residential area in West Vancouver.
The bear was killed near Ottawa Avenue and 25th Street by West Vancouver police Const. Greg Trenholm. WVPD spokesman Sgt. Scott Findlay said that killing a wild animal is absolutely the last resort but in this case the officer was left with no choice. “You just don’t know what the bear is going to do,” Findlay said.
