Investigators from the police watchdog have been sent to the scene of a fatal car crash involving a police car.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) today confirmed to the ECHO that the watchdog's investigation into the death of Rachael Louise Moore was under way. Ms Moore was hit and killed by a marked police car travelling on Sheil Road, Kensington, at around 8.10pm on Christmas Eve.
Emergency services rushed to the busy main road but the 22-year-old was confirmed at the scene to have died of her injuries. Merseyside Police closed Sheil Road and a number of adjoining side streets while officers carried out enquiries in the local area.
