A serving Met Police officer will appear in court accused of causing death by dangerous driving after a fatal collision in Enfield, north London, last year.
PC Ian Brotherton, 32, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday over a collision between a marked police van and a moped rider on Southbury Road on October 12 last year.
The moped rider, 26-year-old Brazilian national Cristopher De Carvalho Guedes, died in hospital a day later.
The police vehicle had its lights and sirens on as it was on the way to a 999 call.
PC Brotherton is accused of causing death by dangerous driving, and causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving.
The charge comes after a probe by the police watchdog, the IOPC, which began investigating after a mandatory referral from Scotland Yard.
Charges were authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service after the conclusion of the IOPC investigation in April 2024.
