A LEYTON woman was killed when she was hit by a car involved in a high-speed police chase.
Raquel Williams died on Sunday when the Vauxhall Corsa she was travelling in was in collision with a Mercedes in Bethnal Green Road, Shoreditch.
A man and a 19-month old baby, who were in the car with her at the time, are in a critical condition.
A man in his twenties is still being questioned over the incident and two others, a man and a woman both aged 21, have been bailed.
The crash happened soon after officers switched on the car's blue lights as they pursued the black Mercedes at about 3.45am.
Police said the four occupants of the Mercedes fled on foot after it hit the Corsa.
The case has been referred to the Independent Police Complains Commission.
