So a 45 year old woman was killed in SE #yeg when RCMP laid down spikes along 50th Street around 23rd Ave (a very busy piece of road, from what I remember), which disabled a whole bunch of civilian vehicles before sending the stolen U-Haul they were after out of control and into her. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't a spike belt be laid out AFTER a road block, not just thrown down on the road for anybody to hit? The thief then jacked a car which had a kid, who was found safe minutes after.
