Andrew Peach

Available for over a year

The widow of James Dixon, the Berkshire based police officer from the TV programme Road Wars who died in a motorbike crash last December, has been speaking to Andrew Peach for the first time publicly about her husband. Known to many as Dixie, a "hugely respected officer", many members of the public as well as hundreds of his fellow police officers paid tribute to him. Samantha Dixon, who's also a Thames Valley police officer and was pregnant at the time of his death, says he was very excited about becoming a dad. (Photo: Dixon Family)
