Police Ombudsman makes recommendations to PSNI after death of Lisa Gow in 2018

The Police Ombudsman has made a number of recommendations to improve the PSNI’s handling of vehicle pursuits following an investigation into a fatal collision in Belfast in 2018.

An investigation was launched after 32-year-old Lisa Gow was killed when she was struck by a stolen car being pursued by police. The collision happened on the Ballysillan Road shortly before 11am on April 19, 2018.

The driver of the stolen car has since been jailed for causing death by dangerous driving and five other offences. Two unmarked police cars were in pursuit of the stolen Audi when it attempted to overtake a van which was turning right into a parking area. The Audi and van collided before the Audi struck Ms Gow.
