Officer Races Car at 104 mph on Personal Errand With Lights and Sirens — Kills Woman Crossing Street with Husband

Sandra Simpson, 61, probably thought of a myriad of dangers in London but never saw this one coming. Simpson was killed by officer Malcolm Searles, who was driving his patrol car as fast as 104 mph in a 40 mph zone with his sirens and lights on — to deliver a birthday card to a friend.

Searles has now been jailed for six-and-a-half years after admitting that he caused the death during a personal errand last August.
