A second cop faces disciplinary action over the 999 crash which left a boy, 15, paralysed

A second police officer faces disciplinary action over the response to a 999 call which left a boy of 15 paralysed.

PC Sarah De Meulemeester, 26, topped 61mph on 30mph limit roads and went the wrong way round a traffic island en route to an emergency in Stockport on Boxing Day, 2020. Her patrol car crashed into Khia Whitehead, 15, on Garners Lane in Adswood, Stockport, leaving him with catastrophic brain injuries.

After she was convicted of causing serious injury by dangerous driving today (Friday), it emerged that the police watchdog which investigated the case has also probed the conduct of a second officer who responded to the incident, believed to be in the patrol car behind PC De Meulemeester.
