The Independent Police Complaints Commission has completed its review of the inquiry into the death of a north London pedestrian who died in collision with a police van.

Mr Ali Korkurt Kanidagli died on 12 November 2005 when he was struck by a Metropolitan Police Service vehicle on Monument Way, Tottenham N17. A second pedestrian received injuries to his leg and body. A second officer in the van suffered cuts and grazes that required stitches.

Last October PC Courtenay Watts pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention. He was fined £500 and had his licence endorsed with six penalty points. The judge indicated that he had considered disqualification. However as PC Watts was answering an emergency call at the time, he felt that a disqualification was not appropriate.

The inquest was concluded on Thursday 8 February.

IPCC Commissioner Deborah Glass has now completed her review of the inquiry, following the findings of the inquest. As PC Watts gave a full and frank account of the incident at the inquest, has accepted responsibility for his actions and been through the magistrates' court, she has agreed with the Metropolitan Police Service that he should receive words of advice in relation to his driving conviction. The IPCC has also recommended that he should receive further driver training.

The inquest's narrative verdict was:

"On the 12 November 2005 at about 12.44 pm, Mr Ali Korkurt Kanidagli was walking on the south pavement of Monument Way, N17. A marked police van responding to an emergency call, travelling on High Road Tottenham, turned right too tightly into Monument Way. Due to the combination of the speed of the vehicle and the tightness of the turn, the van went out of control and, moving sideways, mounted the pavement, where it struck Mr Kanidagli. Mr Kanidagli received fatal injuries when he was crushed between the police van and a lamppost, and died by the side of the road."
