Pedestrians hit by U-Haul van in Edmonton testify at trial of alleged attacker

EDMONTON — Two pedestrians struck by a U-Haul van in downtown Edmonton two years ago say they suffered psychologically after the attack.

Paul Beigel has testified he was outside a bar having a cigarette when he was hit from behind and flew into a wall on the night of Sept. 30, 2017.

He says he went through physiotherapy for an injured knee, as well as treatment for depression, and still suffers from anxiety.

Jack Zubick told court that he was outside the same bar when he was hit, but remembers little of what happened.

Zubick, who had knee and head injuries, says he was affected by stress and anxiety for a year.
