A tragic incident occurred on the M25 late Sunday when 19-year-old motorcyclist Andrina Everett from Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, was fatally struck by a car allegedly fleeing from police.
The crash happened around 11:40 PM near Junction 30 on the M25 in Essex. Kent Police were pursuing a suspected stolen vehicle when it collided with Andrina’s motorcycle, resulting in her immediate death.
