Tragic Death After Police Van Hits Pedestrian on Lambeth Palace Road
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has launched a major probe following a fatal collision between a Metropolitan Police van and a pedestrian on Lambeth Palace Road, SE1.
The horror crash happened just after 6.30pm last Thursday (2 October) near Westminster Bridge. A marked police van struck a man on foot, who was rushed to hospital with serious injuries but sadly later died.
IOPC Urges Witnesses to Come Forward
IOPC investigators were quickly on the scene and have begun examining police actions after the crash. They have informed the victim’s family and promised ongoing updates.
“Our thoughts are with the man’s family, friends and all those affected by his death,” said IOPC director Emily Barry. “It’s vital we get a full picture of what happened, especially since this took place on a busy London road at early evening when foot and vehicle traffic is high.”
“We urge anyone who saw the crash or what happened just before it to contact us now.”
