Three constables testified Thursday in Superior Court in the ongoing trial of Nathaniel Veltman, 22.
He is on trial for four counts of terrorism-motivated first-degree murder and one count of terrorism-motivated attempted murder.
Four members of the Afzaal family died, and a young boy was seriously injured, after a pickup truck hit them on the sidewalk at the intersection of Hyde Park Road and South Carriage Road on June 6, 2021 in London, Ont.
Const. Michael Olszowy was on his 12th shift with the London Police Service, being coached by Const. Brock Dease, when they were dispatched to the accident.
In testimony that was at times difficult for the officer to explain and for the family in the courthouse to hear, Dease described the injuries to the victims he found.
He told the jury the first person he saw was an elderly woman lying on her back on the street, with what Dease believed were broken legs and arms, and injuries to her abdomen and face.
