AN investigation into potential wrongdoing after a motorist was killed in a crash with an unmarked police car is still ongoing four months later.

The 53-year-old, who has not been named, died a few days after the collision on the northbound A449 near Hartlebury on May 28.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) launched the investigation into whether the West Mercia Police officer’s driving was in accordance with force policy.

Eye witness Andrea Rea described the collision as “horrendous” and said the police vehicle was “smashed up at the front and the other vehicle was on its roof.”

The casualty suffered a cardiac arrest at the scene, although both officers in the unmarked car were not harmed.

An IOPC spokesman said the officer, who has not been named, was responding to an emergency call but could not confirm if the sirens were being sounded.

He added: “We are investigating whether the manner of the police officer’s driving was in accordance with force and national policies.”
