A witness to yesterday's Eltham horror crash that killed a 38-year-old woman and her unborn baby has detailed how her car was flipped over several times after an unmarked vehicle crashed into the side.
Abu Bakr, 34, described seeing three or four siren-blaring police Volvos hitting speeds of up to 90mph along the A20 when they collided with the woman's car.
The witness said the woman was driving into the leisure centre off the road.
GB News has seen footage taken moments after the incident, which shows the inside of the car over 10 metres beyond the entrance to the leisure centre.

He also claimed that the husband had told him that his 38-year-old wife was due to give birth next week and that he was waiting to be picked up at the leisure centre.
