'Future snatched in instant'

A heartbroken husband has described watching in “helpless horror” as a van fleeing the police ran over his “beautiful wife” after mounting an embankment at a golf club.

Suzanne Cherry, 62, died in hospital after she was struck by a grey Nissan van at Aston Wood Golf Club in Kingstanding, Birmingham.

The police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), is investigating the circumstances around the tragedy after two patrol cars started following the van due to reports of suspicious activity.

They stopped chasing the vehicle when it came off the road and went up an embankment at the golf club, where it hit Cherry at 10.25 am on 11 April.
