Police driver on ‘wrong side’ of road before crash

A police officer responding to an emergency call was driving at 60mph on the wrong side of the road before hitting a woman, a court heard.

The prosecution said PC Philip Duthie's view had been obstructed by a van as Kimberley Cameron, 27, crossed the A41 Bicester Road in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, on 16 April 2021.

At a Westminster Magistrates' Court hearing, the 41-year-old, who is charged with causing death by careless driving, elected for his case to be heard by a judge and jury at a crown court.

District Judge Michael Snow released Duthie, of Chappell Way in Leighton Buzzard, on unconditional bail ahead of his next appearance at the Old Bailey on 26 May.
