The Independant Police Commplaints Commission has ordered an investigation after a man was killed in an accident involving a marked police car.
The man who is said to be in his 40’s and from the Denaby Main area of Sheffield was hit by a marked South Yorkshire Police patrol car driving along Doncaster road.
The Ford Focus was carrying two police officers responding to an incident when they collided with the pedestrian. Paramedics were called to the accident immediately where they pronounced the man dead at the scene.
Details of the deceased have not yet been released as formal identification of the man has not yet taken place and is still waiting to be revealed by the IPCC.
The IPCC has assigned two investigators to the case. They will look at what caused the death of a man and will see if there was any way in which the accident could have been avoided.
The IPCC has promised to conduct a fully independent inquiry; Commissioner Nicholas Long who is in charge of the investigation said;
“The IPCC investigation will be independent and proportionate, my condolences go to the family and friends of the dead man”.
