How to obtain CCTV footage for accident? - Gazza
My girlfriend was involved in an accident about a month ago, where a van has collided into the driver-side rear panel of her car and damaged the right-rear light cluster and the panel also. The location is the inter-section of Hyde Park Corner and Park Lane (Northbound). The other party is denying liability. As she has never deviated from her lane at all for the 160 metres before the accident and it was the other party who needs to get into her lane, she believe it is the other party's fault. There is a CCTV covering the accident spot and the road leading upto the accident spot so we are hoping to obtain the CCTV footage as evidence that the other party is at fault.

How and where would we be able to obtain this footage? (Police attended the accident but unfornately it happened so quickly that we both forgot to obtain a CAD number from them)

Many thanks,
Gazza

Who operates the camera concerned, Local Authority or private firm?

Sounds as if Police involvement (non injury) was to ensure names and addresses were exchanged so unhelpful.

If you know who the operator is then approach then pdq and ask.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge but what does "pdq" mean or stand for?
