In a statement issued by Scotland Police Chief, he assured that the failure to inspect a fatal car crash for three days occurred due to the “individual failure” of an “experienced officer.” He alleged that even though 28-year-old John Yuill is believed to have died immediately after the accident on the M9 near Stirling last Sunday, 25-year-old Lamara Bell survived in a critical condition for three days.
The initial report of the crash was made at the same time but the call was not followed up until another report was made on Wednesday when officers found the wreckage and took Lamara to hospital. The Chief Constable of Police Scotland, Sir Stephen House, stated that an “individual error” by an experienced officer led to the report not being logged. He explained that “firstly I want to apologize to the families of John Yuill and Lamara Bell and to the people of Scotland for this individual failure in our service. Everyone in Police Scotland feels this most profoundly.”
Chief House stressed that “the details given below have been shared with both families but I feel it is right that we also make them public,” adding that “I completely understand the level of concern being raised about the circumstances surrounding the handling of the incident of the crash near the M9 slip road at Bannockburn, and in particular, Police Scotland’s response to information received. That we failed both families involved is without doubt.” He explained that “however, I want to make clear to members of the public, and all those who have rightly expressed concern, that the mistakes made in not responding to the call from a member of the public on Sunday 5th July arose because the information received was not entered onto our systems.”
