| A West Australian policeman whose car struck another vehicle and killed the female driver has been found not guilty of dangerous driving causing her death.
Constable Gareth Hopley, 29, has been on trial in the Perth District Court for the past two weeks, charged over the death of Sharon Ann D'Ercole in April last year.
Ms D'Ercole, 50, died from multiple injuries, while her 16-year-old daughter, who was a passenger, has no memory of the accident.
A jury took an afternoon of deliberating before deciding to acquit the officer on Monday.
During the trial, Mr Hopley denied having "tunnel vision" while chasing a stolen car before crashing into Ms D'Ercole's vehicle, and testified that he believed she was slowing down for him when he hit her.
The officer's lights and sirens were activated at the time, the court heard.
Some evidence also indicated Ms D'Ercole was driving at about 25km/h in a 60km/h zone, while the police vehicle was travelling at up to 75km/h.
