A police officer has been arrested for causing a fatal crash involving a 26-year-old moped driver.
Tragic news struck the community of Enfield, North London when Christopher De Carvalho Guedes, a 26-year-old man, lost his life in a devastating crash. It was later discovered that a police officer was involved in the collision that led to Guedes' death. The officer, identified as Constable Ian Brotherton, has now been charged with causing Guedes' death by dangerous driving.

The fatal incident occurred on October 12th of last year on Southbury Road. Guedes, who was riding a moped at the time, was hit by a marked police van driven by Brotherton. The collision was severe and tragically, Guedes did not survive. The Metropolitan Police Officer will now have to face the consequences of his actions as he is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court this Wednesday.

Brotherton, who is 32 years old, will not only be charged with causing death by dangerous driving, but also with causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has been involved in the investigation and released a statement regarding the incident. They confirmed that Guedes lost his life in the collision and that Brotherton was the driver of the police vehicle involved.

After a thorough investigation, the IOPC decided to refer a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service. The CPS has now authorized the charges against Brotherton, leading to his court appearance this week. The IOPC also mentioned that they began their investigation after a mandatory referral from the Met Police.

The community is still reeling from the tragic loss of Guedes, and the IOPC has urged the public to follow their social media accounts for any updates on the case. They have also made it easier for people to stay informed by offering daily push alerts. The Agency, who has been covering this story, also encourages readers to follow their social media pages for the latest news updates.
