A man in his 30s has died after he was hit by a police vehicle on an emergency call in south London. The pedestrian was struck by the marked vehicle on Borough High Street at 00:34 GMT, the Metropolitan Police said. He was given emergency first aid by officers and treated by paramedics from the London Ambulance Service, but died at the scene.
Some of the IOPC's findings could be regarded as historic, in particular that 12 former officers would have had cases to answer for gross misconduct, including Peter Wright, the chief constable of South Yorkshire police at the time of the 1989 disaster. But the passage of time, 36 years, since the alleged failings is so great that all the officers have long retired or, like Wright, are dead meaning nobody will face any disciplinary proceedings.
