A grieving wife has paid a heartfelt tribute to her husband, David Clark, who tragically lost his life after being struck by a police car in Borough, central London, on January 7. The 35-year-old Australian national, who resided in Scunthorpe, was fatally injured when a Met Police vehicle, responding to an emergency, collided with him as he crossed the road.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has launched an independent investigation into the circumstances of the fatal incident. Officers from two police vehicles stopped to provide first aid, but Mr. Clark was pronounced deceased at the scene. The IOPC is reviewing CCTV and body-worn video footage.
Mr. Clark is remembered as a devoted father to their seven-month-old daughter and a cherished friend. His wife expressed gratitude for the support received while emphasizing the need for privacy during this profoundly difficult time. Friends have initiated a GoFundMe, raising over £15,000 for his repatriation to Australia.
