The two vehicles that were involved in the accident
Preliminary investigations revealed that the Police vehicle was proceeding East along Good Hope Railway Embankment with flashing lights while the motorcar was proceeding out of Good Hope Access Road.
However, police claimed that the car made a right turn onto Good Hope Railway Embankment Road and into the path of the Police vehicle. As a result, the right front portion of the Police vehicle collided with the back of the car thus causing both vehicles to damage.
The GPF said a Notice of Intended Prosecution was served on both drivers, who are in custody assisting with the investigation.
