IPCC names Bromley RTI woman
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has named the pedestrian who died after being hit by a police vehicle in Bromley, south-east London, on Saturday (23 August) as Sandra Simpson.
Sandra Simpson (known to family and friends as Sandy), a local resident aged 61, was hit by a marked police vehicle in Homesdale Road near the junction with Gundulph Road, Bromley. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
IPCC investigators attended the scene on the night of the collision and launched an inquiry into the circumstances.
Initial analysis of the police vehicle's data recording system shows that the vehicle was travelling with its blue lights and sirens on at the time of the collision. The IPCC's investigation will look at the actions and deployment of the officer during this time.
IPCC investigators have been carrying house to house enquires today.
A post-mortem, attended by an IPCC investigator, was carried out yesterday and an inquest will be opened in due course.
The IPCC's investigation continues.
