A second female officer who suffered pelvic and leg injuries has now been discharged from hospital and is continuing to recover at home. Andy Mantova was among the people who rushed to the scene to help the police officers involved.
Andy told the ECHO: "I was here after the crash. I live in the hostel down the road. I saw two WPCs involved in the crash. It's so upsetting because that's someone's daughter, or sister or mum. I feel so relieved and blessed to hear that no one has died."
