Fatality at Balham?
: Not a particularly good example. There are numerous examples of fatal

: basically as soon as the ambulances are gone.
Bad comparison:

Fatal crashes are often killings caused by someone's crime. Why should they
be dealt with less seriously than murders?
I see that a main road in Birmingham was entirely closed for the
morning rush hour a couple of days ago after a child was killed by a
police car.
We have had 5 children killed in my (small) town in the past year - 4
pedestrians, one cyclist - all but one killed by illegal actions by a driver
(cyclist driven into, 3 children killed in separate incidents by drivers
failing to give way when turning). Speed implicated in all 5 cases.
No prosecutions and no serious investigation - roads quickly reopened. It's
a scandal that is being ignored.
One suspects the only reason your case was properly investigated was because
the PCA would be involved.
