An officer investigating a horror crash which left three young people dead and two injured has been served a misconduct notice by the police watchdog. Eve Smith and Darcy Ross, both 21, died alongside Rafel Jeanne, 24, after the car they were travelling crashed off the A48 near St Mellons, Cardiff.
On Thursday, the watchdog confirmed one Gwent Police officer had been served with a misconduct notice over their “review of the missing persons’ logs and relevant risk assessments". They added: "We are also considering whether the age of the missing persons impacted on the officer’s decision-making. “We are reviewing internal communication between the police officers and staff identified as being involved along with CCTV from relevant police stations. We are speaking to the National Police Air Service about the involvement of a police helicopter during the search.
"Our investigators have met with all the families involved and we are in contact with them on a regular basis to keep them updated on the progress of our investigation. IOPC staff have also met with a number of local community leaders and elected officials to explain our role and the scope of our investigation.
The statement concluded: "The investigation will also aim to establish whether the actions or inactions of the two police forces contributed to the deaths and serious injuries sustained in the incident."
