The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigated the circumstances surrounding the incident and determined that the police van, with lights and sirens active, went through a red light before colliding with Mr. Guedes.
PC Ian Brotherton, 32, faces serious charges including causing death by dangerous driving and careless driving, following the tragic death of moped rider Cristopher De Carvalho Guedes.
The incident occurred on October 12, 2023, when Mr. Guedes, a 26-year-old Brazilian, was fatally struck while riding his moped in Enfield, North London.
This case raises important questions about police conduct during emergency responses, particularly regarding adherence to traffic signals even when responding with sirens and lights.
