A Quebec police officer will be charged with dangerous driving causing the death of a motorcycle rider.

Isabelle Morin made a U-turn on Sept. 10, 2015 in a construction zone on Highway 73 north of Quebec City.

A motorcycle rider, 38-year-old Jessy Drolet, slammed into the police car and died of his injuries in hospital.

Morin and another occupant of the SPVQ car suffered minor injuries.

Sureté du Quebec investigators examined the scene and later delivered a report to the Crown, which decided to press charges.
