Police Pursuit Incident in Leicester: Woman and Children Struck by Police Car During Chase

Accident involving police vehicle highlights risks of high-speed pursuits in urban areas
A police pursuit turned alarming on Monday afternoon in Leicester when a woman in her 30s and two 10-year-old children were hit by a police car.

The incident occurred as officers attempted to apprehend a BMW that had failed to stop near the busy junction of Upperton Road and Narborough Road.

Leicestershire Police have initiated an investigation into the incident.

The police were in pursuit of the BMW as it sped away, leaving officers in a precarious position as they navigated through traffic-heavy streets.

It was during this high-pressure chase that the pedestrian trio was struck by the police vehicle.

Paramedics quickly arrived at the scene, providing immediate medical assistance.

The woman suffered a minor injury, but as a precautionary measure, she and the children were transported to a local hospital for further examination and monitoring.

The whereabouts of the BMW remain unknown as it managed to flee the scene, prompting ongoing police efforts to locate the vehicle and the individuals involved.

Leicestershire Police have assured the public of a thorough investigation to understand the circumstances that led to the accident and to assess operational protocols during high-speed pursuits in densely populated areas.

The incident has brought attention to the inherent risks associated with police pursuits, especially in urban settings where the potential for collateral damage is significantly heightened.

Such accidents raise critical questions about public safety and the tactical approaches employed by police forces during traffic chases.

As medical teams monitor the condition of those affected, communities in Leicester and elsewhere are left to grapple with the balance between effective law enforcement and maintaining public safety during such high-stakes operations.
