Crash driver: ‘There has been no cover-up’
Wednesday 25th May 2011, 2:57PM BST.
DI Chris Beechey
THE detective in charge of an investigation into a fatal car crash has moved to quash rumours of a cover-up surrounding the identity of the driver.
A 27-year-old woman was killed in the accident on 12 February, when a Lotus Elise hit a wall on St Clement’s Coast Road, and the 35-year-old man behind the wheel spent several days in hospital.
DI Chris Beechey, head of CID at the States police, said that they were still investigating the incident and that while no one had been charged with any offences, the police were unable to release the driver’s name.
‘There is no cover-up,’ he said. ‘Whether it’s a shoplifter, someone arrested on suspicion of assault or malicious damage, we will not name the individual while the investigation is continuing,’ he said.

Ive never heard of this, i have said there was something fishy about this, they never withold the name of a person unless it can jepordise the case involved or the driver was underage, seeing as he was driving the car and the other party died, no one can do any damage to the findings, such as witnesses!
Can you remeber any time in jersey when the driver of a fatality has never been named, They even named the police officer who crashed into the back of the poor lady on the same stretch of road around 6 years ago, before it went to court! hmmm thoughts go out to the poor ladies family involved in this terrible accident.
