    She had been sent to the scene of a crash involving a Land Rover Freelander and Ford Explorer on the A189 Spine Road in Cramlington at 23:10 BST on Monday, but was injured when a black Mercedes crashed into a marked police car. She died in hospital on Wednesday.

    A 73-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and released on bail.

    If you can’t avoid hitting a stationary object on the road, then you shouldn’t be driving. If you drive in a situation where you shouldn’t be driving, and you cause a death with your incompetence, then I don’t see the difference between this and other forms of manslaughter.
