Disturbing dash-cam footage shows LA police fatally striking skateboarder

Gerardo Jerry' Estrada, 30, was hit head-on by weaving car with sirens on that had drifted from correct side of street

The Los Angeles police department has released disturbing dash-cam footage of its officers weaving in and out of traffic before fatally striking a skateboarder.

The video of the 19 September collision shows an LAPD cruiser, with its sirens on at around 7.15pm, at times driving on the wrong side of the road to get past cars. While the driver and another officer appeared to be engaged in a casual conversation, they drifted from the correct side of the street into a center lane, at which point the skateboarder appeared in view.
