The tragic crash on the A20 in Eltham has prompted an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.

The collision occurred Thursday evening when an unmarked police car hit a vehicle carrying a heavily pregnant woman on the A20 in Eltham, southeast London.
Both the 38-year-old woman and her unborn child succumbed to their injuries despite emergency efforts, including an attempted roadside C-section.
Witnesses reported the police car was speeding and on the wrong side of the road, causing the victim's car to flip multiple times.
