Overview
- A jury at the Old Bailey found PC Christopher Harrison not guilty of causing death by careless driving over the 2023 collision that killed Helen Holland.
- Holland’s relatives say they will sue the Metropolitan Police to obtain formal acknowledgment that she "did nothing wrong," not for compensation.
- The Independent Office for Police Conduct says its year-long probe found a case to answer for gross misconduct and is pressing for disciplinary proceedings.
- In court, Harrison accepted he had not activated his body-worn camera and did not use his whistle, while prosecutors said Holland was crossing on a green signal as the bike approached at 44–58mph.
- The Met says escort riders now have bullhorns fitted to their motorcycles to boost warnings to pedestrians following the fatal crash.
