Overview
- PC Christopher Harrison testified he braked only when Helen Holland appeared in front of him and insisted he was not complacent.
- He acknowledged under questioning that he could have stopped to control the crossing but maintained his riding met his training standards.
- Evidence presented said he approached at 44–58 mph on a 30 mph road, went through a red light about 18 seconds after colleagues reported the change, and hit her 2.9 metres into the crossing at roughly 33–38 mph.
- An IOPC‑called expert told jurors his final actions were not up to a competent rider’s standard and that he should have stopped to control the red‑light crossing.
- He told investigators he forgot to activate his body‑worn camera, a mechanical check found no faults with his motorcycle, and the trial continues.
