Helen Holland was walking across a pedestrian crossing when a police motorcycle hit and killed her in May 2023. The 81-year-old great-grandmother was struck by PC Christopher Harrison, who was riding in a police convoy escorting the Duchess of Edinburgh through Earl’s Court in west London. Holland passed away in the hospital two weeks later.
According to Daily Mail, body camera footage that was just released shows PC Harrison speeding past other officers and heading towards a red traffic light right as Holland walked onto the road. Harrison was going between 44 and 58 mph even though the speed limit was 30 mph. The light was red for cars and motorcycles, but Holland had a green signal telling her it was safe to cross.
