Several fatal collisions involving police pursuits or dangerous driving have led to manslaughter and causing death charges in Australia and the UK. In Perth, a 26-year-old man faces manslaughter and other charges after a police chase ended in a fatal crash, killing a man in a Ford Falcon and injuring a female passenger. Similarly, in Newcastle, NSW, a woman died and another lost her unborn child following a crash involving a Commodore that fled police, with the driver charged and refused bail.
