We do not republish articles from Evening Standard. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on standard.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The Evening Standard reports an inquest into a crash on the A13 that killed three people, and a coroner's finding that Metropolitan Police officers were sent to the wrong junction after a first crash. It names the dead, attributes the findings to the coroner and the jury, and gives the force's response in its own words. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“Sachin Kalia, 19, Davina Kaur Ruprah, 24, and Kiranjeet Sagoo, 36,”
The Standard names the three people who died and gives their ages, so the reader meets them as people and not as a number.
“The call handler did not record the correct location of the first crash despite twice being told of the precise junction by the caller.”
The Standard says plainly who made the error and what it was, and does not hide the failure behind passive wording about a system.
“caused by the driver losing control whilst driving at high speed in adverse weather conditions”
The Standard gives the inquest's own finding on the cause of death in quotation marks, so the reader sees the police failure alongside the direct cause and does not take one for the other.
