Two Metropolitan Police officers have been charged with driving offences after an investigation into a fatal crash in south London.

Shante Daniel-Folkes, 25, was killed after being struck by a police vehicle driven by PC Nadeem Patel on Stockwell Road in Brixton on July last year.

PC Patel, 27, is accused of causing death by dangerous driving, watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said.

PC Gary Thomson, 30, who was in a separate police vehicle at the time, is accused of dangerous driving.

Both officers were responding to an emergency incident at the time, the IOPC said.

They will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday October 17.
