The driver of a pick-up truck who was caught on tape allegedly knocking a cyclist off of his bike on Rhode Island Avenue last year is headed to trial, and he’s facing a number of charges.

The Washington Times reports that former D.C. police officer John Diehl has been charged with assault, leaving the scene of a collision that caused both personal injury and property damage, and destroying property. During the incident, Diehl was said to have knocked cyclist Evan Wilder to the ground with his truck, which Wilder documented with his helmet-mounted camera. Diehl has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

It took nine months from the time of the incident for police to identify and serve Diehl with a judicial summons—he eventually willingly turned himself in—and since then the U.S. Attorney for D.C. has taken over the case from the D.C. Attorney General. In October, a new indictment was filed against Diehl.

After the incident, Wilder and cycling advocates pushed for D.C. to provide a civil right of action for cyclists that are assaulted, harassed or intimated by drivers. While legislation doing so hasn’t yet moved forward, D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson recently moved a bill that would amend the definition of assault so that it could apply in more cases, including those in which cyclists are knocked off their bikes by drivers.
