GMP officer on trial over crash which left boy, 15, with catastrophic brain injuries
A 15-year-old boy was left with catastrophic brain injuries after being struck by a speeding police car, a court has heard.
Opening the prosecution case, Mr Sandiford told the jury that the incident happened at about 9.30pm on a dark, rainy night on Garners Lane, Adswood. A few seconds before the collision, PC De Meulemeester was allegedly in second position of the three police cars and was travelling at 61 mph in a 30 mph zone on Adswood Road.
Both boys saw the first police car with blue flashing lights activated and both waited for it to pass, the court heard. Khia’s attention remained on the first police vehicle and he was still looking at it when he stepped out in front of the defendant’s car.
