Paul Carroll, 29, of Bramipton appeared in Ontario court (provincial division) in Milton Friday for a bail hearing. He faces charges of dangerous driving causing death and failing to remnain at the scene of an acci- dent. Competitive cycist Jacek Wserzbicki, 41, was struck by a car travelling southbound on Tremnaine Road, just north of Denry Road, at about 11:50 arn. Tuesday. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Mn. Carroll, who kept his head bowed through- out most of his court appearance, was released on $75,000 bail, which was posted by Nis step-father. The suspect agreed to abide by several conditions upon release. Conditions include refraining from drivig until the charges are resolved, seeking counselling for emotional problems, reporting to police once a month and continumng to reside at his current resi- dence. Although family members of the victim weren't in court, friend Bolek Hawrylewicz sat quietly through the proceedings. A pu blication ban prevents the media from reporting further details of the hearing. Police forces across the GTA issued press releas- es last week, stating they were looking for a gray 1995-1999 Hyundai Accent with visible damage to the windshield, night front signal and headlight. Police seized a 1999 Hyundai Accent and trans- ported it to the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto.
