A woman who was critically injured in a crash with a police motorcycle escorting the Duchess of Edinburgh is in a coma in hospital, her family say.

Helen Holland, 81, was hit at the junction of West Cromwell Road and Warwick Road in Earl's Court, west London, at 15:20 BST on Wednesday.

Her family said they were "shocked and sickened" at her injuries.

“She’s lucky to be alive at all,” Martin Hennessy, 62, who lives yards away from the scene. “The road is a nightmare. We’ve warned the council about it. There have been three people killed here.”

“When you get to the junction you have to step out to see if anything is coming, that’s when she was hit,” the retired antiques dealer said. “I came out to walk the dogs and that’s when I saw this thoroughfare. She’d been thrown across the road and the ambulance were treating her.”

The police watchdog said their investigation was in its early stages and evidence was being gathered.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct said Ms Holland was in a critical condition in hospital.

Ms Holland, from Birchanger, Essex, had been in London visiting her older sister on Wednesday, her family told the BBC.

Her son and daughter-in-law Martin and Lisa-Marie Holland said they were "shocked and sickened at her extensive injuries".

"She is being well cared for by the NHS who we must thank deeply for their help in keeping her alive," they added.
