Northumbria PC was closing road when car hit her, inquest hears

A 19-year-old police officer who died after she was hit by a car while on duty was closing a road following a previous crash, a coroner has said.

An inquest in Morpeth was told Northumbria PC Jess Turnbull suffered “catastrophic injuries” when she was struck by a vehicle in Cramlington, Northumberland, on 8 June.

She died in hospital two days later.

The young officer had been sent to the scene of a crash involving a Land Rover Freelander and a Ford Explorer on the A189 Spine Road but was injured when a black Mercedes crashed into a marked police car.

The inquest at County Hall heard PC Turnbull was originally deployed to the scene with a colleague after a report of the crash on the southbound A189 to implement a road closure.

The two officers arrived on the scene at 23:26 BST.

Eight minutes later when she was outside the stationary police car, it was hit by another vehicle and PC Turnbull was injured.
