THE Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has passed evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) after completing its investigation into the death of a Bordon soldier.

Joshua Brown, 21, died when he was hit by a marked Surrey Police BMW on the A31 Hog's Back at 3.35am on December 1.

The vehicle was travelling at more than 80 miles per hour while responding to a possible intruder at a domestic property but was not using sirens at the time of the collision.

The IPCC investigated if the police response was appropriate for the emergency call and whether the officers involved adhered to the relevant driving policies, procedures and guidance.

This week the IPCC submitted a file of evidence to the CPS. The file relates specifically to one officer who was the driver of the police vehicle.

IPCC commissioner Jennifer Izekor said: "Mr Brown's family and Surrey Police are aware we have passed a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service and we will continue to keep them regularly informed of any developments."

Mr Brown, from Nottinghamshire, was a trainee soldier with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers based at Bordon, where he was nearing the end of his course to become a vehicle mechanic.

Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Alistair Houldsworth REME described the incident as "tragic" and said Mr Brown had a bright military future ahead of him.

It is now up to the CPS to decide whether anyone involved in the incident should face criminal charges.
