How 'moving object' Bush crashed bike at G8 summit

[ECH1969]

LONDON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush was busily waving to security officers guarding the G8 summit when he swerved into one of them, leaving the hapless policeman on crutches, according to a British police report.

Bush -- described in dry police style as a "falling/moving object" -- was treated for scratches on his hands and arms after he went tumbling on a break from the summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, last July 6.

Although the accident was reported at the time, the police incident report, published in the Scotland on Sunday newspaper, gives further insight into the chain of events.

The unidentified officer had been with a detachment of constables, dressed in anti-riot gear, guarding a road junction when the president cycled up.

but I had to sadly conclude that it was spurious. Too good to be true.
