An innocent cab driver caught up in a bomb blast as police closed in and killed a suspected terrorist in Strathroy, Ont., has filed a lawsuit against the RCMP and other authorities for the trauma he says was visited on him. In his unproven statement of claim, Terry Duffield asserts authorities were negligent in failing to warn or protect him from Aaron Driver, who was shot dead in August 2016 after setting off an explosive in the back of a cab. That afternoon, Driver called for a cab to go to nearby London, Ont., and Duffield responded. Without warning, Driver detonated his device, rocking the cab and filling it with smoke and debris. "Aaron Driver was shot dead on the driveway, feet away from where Terry lay face down," the claim says.
