He was walking back to his police vehicle with the license and registration papers of the driver he had stopped when he was rammed by a truck and killed. The truck left the road, driving on the shoulder, hitting the patrol car first and afterwards hitting Constable Roy. Speed and alcohol are not believed to be factors in the incident. Constable Roy had only been with the Bromont police force for several months after serving with the RCMP in Alberta.
