On Thursday night, a deadly crash occurred on the A20 near the intersection of Kidbrooke Park Road.
A heavily pregnant mother and her infant were killed in a collision with an unmarked police car in south-east London.
The 38-year-old woman and her unborn child died as a consequence of injuries sustained in an incident on the A20 near the intersection with Kidbrooke Park Road in Eltham.
An unmarked police car collided with a member of the public’s vehicle around 6.15 p.m. on Thursday, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Firefighters chopped off the roof of a car to liberate its lone occupant, a woman.
Police officers, London Ambulance Service, London Fire Brigade, and London’s Air Ambulance were also there. Following the crash, an investigation is currently underway.
The next of kin have been notified and are being assisted by specially trained officers, according to a police spokesperson.
Abu Bakar, 34, claimed the woman was turning into the Sutcliffe Park Sports Centre when an unmarked police car “driving on the wrong side of the road” hit her.
He informed the PA news agency that four police cars were rushing down the road with their lights on. I’d never seen anything like the speed they were going. One of the automobiles struck her, and she flipped three times. Her automobile was severely messed up.”
According to an eyewitness, a man ran out of the sports centre, saying “that’s my wife” and “she’s pregnant”.
He continued, “The man raced over and started shouting her name. He was telling the cops, ‘That’s my wife,’ and hurried over to her.
“I hoped she was going to be okay but then heard today that she’d died.”
According to one resident, the junction where the incident occurred is “one of the most dangerous in south-east London.”
Flowers have been placed at the scene.
One tribute said, “My heartfelt thoughts are with you, your baby, and your family and friends.” The most terrible catastrophe that should never have occurred, and I hope your family receives some justice. RIP, wonderful lady and your baby.”
Another resident commented, “This is a really dangerous route. I didn’t hear anything, but when I looked out the window, I noticed a large number of police cars and emergency vehicles.
“I spotted what appeared to be a beige automobile with a dent in its side.
“The police were here for ages and the road didn’t start to open properly until Friday morning.”
One resident said they were driven to tears by the news of the occurrence and remembered witnessing “lots of emergency vehicles” throughout the night.
Detective Chief Superintendent Trevor Lawry, in charge of policing in Greenwich, said: “My heart goes out to the woman’s family and friends who have lost their loved ones in these tragic circumstances.
