Ertzaintza patrol ran over a female Itzulia cyclist this Friday and three others were injured when they fell to the ground to avoid the vehicle in the first stage of this test.
Sources from the Ertzaintza reported that the event took place around 12:30 in the afternoon when the cyclists were riding along the BI-633 in the Biscayne municipality of Markina.
