In a devastating turn of events on Sunday night, a motorcyclist lost her life on the M25 after being struck by a car allegedly pursued by police. The victim has been identified locally as 19-year-old Andrina Everett from Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo
The incident unfolded around 11:40 PM near Junction 30 on the M25 in Essex. According to reports, Kent Police officers were in pursuit of an allegedly stolen car that entered Essex before tragically colliding with Andrina’s motorcycle.
In the aftermath of the crash, two teenagers, both 18 years old and from Essex, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. They have since been released on bail pending further investigation, with a court date set for July 8.
The circumstances surrounding the pursuit have prompted a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which will thoroughly investigate the events leading up to the tragic collision.
In response to this heartbreaking loss, a fundraiser has been initiated to support Andrina Everett’s funeral expenses. The community has rallied together in solidarity, seeking to alleviate the financial burden on the family during this incredibly difficult time.
This devastating incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of reckless driving and the profound impact it can have on individuals and communities.
