A police watchdog is investigating the death of a woman after a
crash involving an unmarked police car on the A21.
The
accident happened on the Pembury Road, between the Fairthorne
Garage and North Farm roundabout at around 12.35pm Tuesday. It has
been referred to the
IPCC
.
The collision involved two cars, one of which belonged to the
Metropolitan Police, and was driven by an off-duty officer.
The driver of the other vehicle - a local woman - died at the
scene, while a passenger in the same vehicle was airlifted to
hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening.
The coroner's office has been advised and the woman's family
informed. No further details about the dead woman have yet been
released.
The A21 between the A2014 Pembury Road junction and the
Longfield Road junction in Tunbridge Wells was closed for several
hours while emergency services dealt with the incident.
