Following the conclusion of the inquest on 21 October 2022 into the death of Kimberley Cameron in Aylesbury, Thames Valley Police Assistant Chief Constable Tim Metcalfe has made the following statement.
“Kimberley Cameron, who was aged 27, tragically died following a collision with a police vehicle on an emergency response on Friday 16 April last year.
“At around 5.30pm, a Thames Valley Police vehicle was deployed on an emergency response to a serious injury, three-vehicle road traffic collision in Waddesdon, near Aylesbury.
“Tragically, while progressing through traffic, with visible and audio signals activated, our vehicle was involved in a collision with Kimberley.
“Kimberley died of her injuries at the scene.
“This was an absolute tragedy, and our thoughts have been with Kimberley’s family and friends since the incident.
“A mandatory referral was made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which, following a process, including a full forensic investigation carried out independently by Surrey Police, no misconduct or breach of Professional Standards was identified.
“A jury inquest, which concluded today, returned a narrative verdict which ascertained that Kimberley’s death was as a result of a road traffic collision.
“My thoughts, and the thoughts of all of us at Thames Valley Police, will remain with Kimberley’s family and friends.
“This tragedy affected everybody involved, including the driver of our vehicle and the members of the public who witnessed it.
“However, it is Kimberley’s family and friends who have been most deeply affected by their loss and I would like to offer our sincere condolences to them at this very difficult time.”
