Many people have asked me about my experiences when I used to do Special Escort Group work, and very few believe that sometimes things go wrong.

Well, here is proof of the pudding that things can and do go wrong, no matter how well trained you are or how good you think you are, none of us are indestructable (and this is not in any way meant as an apportioment of blame in this case as nobody yet knows the full cause)

Lets hope everyone makes a speedy and full recovery

His police escort smashed head-on into Toyota Prius near London Zoo

Harry's driver feared terrorist attack and drove high speed through London

What, we have eco-friendly terrorists now?

Fair play to the cop......saw what he thought was a terrorist act and acted without care for himself......

Hats off to him

I didn't know you used to do the Special Escort stuff.

Perhaps it was you that very nearly ran me off the road on Millbank just after the Vauxhall Bridge lights when I inadverdantly got between a tail end charlie and vehicle under escort.

I was left in no doubt at all that I wasn't welcome and the Escort rider did a very thorough job of cutting me off, ensuring that I had no options apart from stopping bloody sharpish without having to stop himself.

Initially I was a bit pissed off, but quickly realised the my own error and was ultimately impressed by the escort riders ability and speed of action.

Would not have been me. That is the Met area, and I am NOT ex Met Police thank goodness.
