Merseyside Police officer charged over death of woman in Liverpool crash
Rachael Louise Moore died after being struck by a marked police car on Christmas Eve in 2022
A Merseyside Police officer has been charged after a woman died in a crash in Liverpool nearly three years ago.
Rachael Louise Moore was hit by a marked police car in the Kensington area of the city on Christmas Eve in 2022.
PC Scott Thompson - who's 32 - is accused of causing death by careless driving.
He's due to appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Monday 24th November 2025.
A spokesperson for the Independent Office for Police Conduct said:
"Our independent investigation followed a mandatory referral from the force after a police vehicle PC Thompson was driving was involved in a fatal collision in the Kensington area of Liverpool on December 24, 2022.
"The officer who was responding to an unrelated emergency call collided with 22-year-old Rachael Moore, who was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
"We have consulted with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) during the course of our investigation to consider any potential criminal offences. This led to the authorisation of the charge against PC Thompson last month."
