Staffordshire police say they've referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, after a woman died following a collision with an unmarked police car in Stoke-on-Trent.
It happened on Park Hall Road, near to the junction with Hulme Road, shortly after 3.50pm on Thursday the 5th of December.
An unmarked police Skoda Octavia that was using its blue lights came into collision with a red Nissan Micra that was going in the opposite direction.
The driver of the Micra, a woman in her 80s, was taken to hospital following the collision.
She was readmitted to hospital on 16 December and died nine days later.
Police are also appealing for witnesses to the crash or CCTV footage
