A police officer has died following an incident on the A249 at the junction with the A2 near Sittingbourne shortly after 8am on Sunday 14 June. PC Philip Pratt, aged 26, was injured by a vehicle as he attempted to introduce diversions at the scene of an earlier accident. He was treated at the scene by paramedics before being flown to The Royal London hospital in Whitechapel by air ambulance. He was pronounced dead at the hospital a short while later. Again in a sign of this becoming more and more common. Our thoughts go out to PC Pratts family, friends, and colleagues at this time of sadness. Take care out there peeps, take care! |
I heard that often traffic officers have to patrol solo - this seems daft. Considering how long it could take for back up - and for someone to watch out for you on a busy road - this sounds ridiculous.
