Policeman denies careless driving after woman died

A police officer has pleaded not guilty to causing death by careless driving after a pedestrian was killed five years ago.

PC Philip Duthie, 41, has been charged with causing the death of 27-year-old Kimberley Cameron on the A41 Bicester Road in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, in April 2021.

At the hearing at the Old Bailey in London, the prosecution said the Thames Valley Police officer was responding to an emergency call and his view had been obstructed by a van as Cameron, 27, crossed the road.

Duthie, of Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, was granted unconditional bail and a trial date has been set for 5 January 2027.
