Police related road traffic incidents

Fatalities arising from road traffic incidents (RTIs) involving police vehicles make up the largest single group of deaths following police contact and are therefore a significant proportion of cases referred to the IPCC. The IPCC felt that it was important to analyse these cases in more detail and have conducted a study to examine a range of the most serious incidents that have occurred over recent years and have sought to identify lessons for policy and practice.

由涉及警用车辆的交通事故（RTI）引发的死亡人数构成了在警方接触后死亡人数的最大单一群体，因此占到了向独立警察投诉委员会（IPCC）提交案件的重要比例。独立警察投诉委员会认为，深入分析这些案例至关重要，并已开展研究，以审视近年来发生的严重事故的多种情况，并试图为政策制定和实践提供经验教训。
