Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A policeman is facing charges of causing death by dangerous driving after he was involved in a car chase in which two people died, including another officer.
PC Anthony Collins, 42, driving a marked patrol car, chased a stolen Ford Escort through Birmingham late one night last December. The West Midlands Police car collided with a Vauxhall Nova at a road junction in Oldbury, near Dudley. Neil Homer, from Oldbury, who was driving the Vauxhall, and PC Robert Dallow, 41, who was in the passenger seat of the police car, were both killed. PC Collins was treated in hospital for minor injuries and later discharged. The car thief escaped.
An investigation was carried out, overseen by the Police Complaints Authority, and was passed on to the Crown Prosecution Service.
