A man has been charged with causing the death of a woman who was hit by a car during a police pursuit.

Anisha Vidal-Garner, 20, from Epping, Essex, died at the scene of the crash in Brixton Hill, south London, on Wednesday night.

The Met Police previously said she was hit by a car which sped off after officers signalled for it to stop.

He is charged with causing death by dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of a road traffic collision, and dangerous driving, Scotland Yard said.

The Met said it had referred the crash to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) which will investigate.
