Ms Freemantle was arrested at the scene and investigated by police. But prosecutors decided not to bring any criminal charges in June 2024 after Ms Freemantle said she had suffered an epileptic seizure.
In October, the Mail revealed Met Police had decided to reopen the probe after a serious case review uncovered significant flaws in the way officers conducted the initial inquiry, including consideration of medical evidence which led to the case being dropped.
But it wasn't the police who opted to drop the case, was it? Surely that decision rests with the notoriously hesitant CPS? Is nothing ever just an unfortunate accident anymore?
The case was subsequently reopened and handed to a top detective superintendent from Specialist Crime Command. Police then made a successful appeal for people who witnessed the crash to come forward to help officers understand whether the driver's behaviour was consistent with her diagnosis.
So they are going to try to challenge medical evidence with layman's observations of the scene? Well, God loves a trier, they say!

Well, they have nothing else to spend their time on in the crime free utopia we live in.
