‘I
decided to speed up to see if I could catch up with them. I really
wanted to know who it was. I didn’t see the actual crash but came across
it just seconds after it had happened. There was debris everywhere,
steam coming out of the car bonnet. It was carnage.’

stopping at the junction and then pulling right across the main road –
straight into the path of the police motorbike, which was on the wrong
side of the road. Pictures taken in the aftermath of the accident in
central London show the police motorbike embedded in the white Toyota
Prius, as the driver lies slumped in his seat surrounded by deployed
airbags.

event in north London when the accident occurred. The rider from the
Special Escort Group was discharged from hospital, while the driver was
said to be in a ‘stable’ condition.
