The officer told the jury he had brought his vehicle to the side of the Primera, aiming to block off an alleyway.The officer was asked by Jamie Burton KC, for the family, if this decision to mount the kerb alongside the Primera was “highly dangerous”, as it was “all but inevitable” that his vehicle would hit Mr Bainbridge if he tried to flee.
“I wanted Kelvin Bainbridge to get out of the car and think ‘s***, that way is closed’ and slow him down.The jury heard PC Jackson was a qualified police driver and armed response officer who had carried out hundreds of pursuits, and no-one previously had been injured. He told John Beggs KC, for the police, that he was “devastated” to learn later that Mr Bainbridge had died.
The officer said it “did not even enter” his head that Mr Bainbridge might decamp from his car while it was still moving.
