Kimberley Cameron, 27, died after being hit by a police vehicle while out for a run, crossing a pelican crossing on the A41 in Aylesbury in 2021.

PC Philip Duthie, 41, who is currently working on “restricted duties”, will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court accused of causing death by careless driving on April 27. 

This follows a reinvestigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

At around 4.45pm on April 16 2021, PC Duthie was responding to a report of a serious incident when his vehicle struck the 27-year-old.

The IOPC stated: “We decided to carry out a reinvestigation in 2023 after considering new evidence from the inquest into her death. 

“After completing our reinvestigation in December 2025, we sent a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which authorised the charge of causing death by careless driving contrary to section 2B of the Road Traffic Act 1988.”

Thames Valley Police said: “The force’s thoughts remain with the family and friends of Kimberley Cameron, and all those affected by this incident.”

In October 2022, an inquest at Beaconsfield Coroners Court heard Kimberly described as an “aspiring, kind and thoughtful person” and a much-loved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, friend and colleague.

Known to her loved ones as Kim and Kimmy, a statement from her family revealed her dream was to become an NHS nurse before following in the footsteps of her dad and granddad in becoming an RAF officer.

The senior coroner for Buckinghamshire, Crispin Butler, had noted that the cause of the death following a post-mortem was “multiple injuries”.

Oxfordshire County Council has announced it will be using WhatsApp for specific travel updates from tomorrow (Friday, April 10).

OxonTravel is used by the county council to provide daily travel updates, including road closures and traffic collisions.

In January, it announced it will stop using X, formerly known as Twitter, over concerns about the rise in hate speech and abuse towards women and girls.

Numerous other public bodies in Oxfordshire have also decided to leave the site.

As part of its phased approach, the county council will leave X entirely by Friday, April 17.

It will use other social media channels and its website to keep people informed and engaged. This includes, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Nextdoor, Blue Sky, WhatsApp and Youtube.

Liz Leffman, county council leader, said she welcomed Ofcom’s decision to investigate the site under the Online Safety Act in a meeting last December.

The county council said: “Public bodies have a responsibility to stand up against hate and abuse, particularly when it targets women and girls.

“Where platforms fail to provide a safe and respectful space for communities, we must make clear and principled choices about how we communicate.”

South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils have removed their profiles.

Cherwell District Council has kept its profile to avoid imitation but it has stopped posting.

An application has been submitted to Cherwell District Council, the planning authority, to change the use of a three-bedroom detached dwelling in Kingsclere Road to an eight-bed with ensuite HMO.

The current home, which is thought to have been constructed in around the 1960s as a private house, currently has two off street parking spaces, two reception rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.

To accommodate the increase of bedrooms, an existing single storey flat roofed garage to the side of the property is planned to be demolished.

In its place will be a new part single storey and part two storey extension to the side and rear of the property.

This will partly house the new rooms, which all measure more than 14m square excluding the ensuite, and an open plan communal kitchen, dining and living room, measuring around 28m square.

There is also provision for 10 covered Sheffield type bicycle stands to the rear of the property.

In the design and access statement, submitted by JMD Architects on behalf of the applicant, it said there is a “real need for quality rooms with ensuites in shared houses for younger single professionals who are working in the own and beyond and are unable to afford the rent for larger flats and houses.”

The planning authority has until May 26 to make a decision.
