He was raced to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge but sadly passed away earlier on Friday at just 24 years old.
The officer had joined Northamptonshire Police in 2022 and had served with the response team in Wellingborough since then.
The force said that, in line with tradition for officers who have passed away in the line of duty, his collar number P1967 will be retired in his memory.
Announcing the news today, Chief Constable Ivan Balhatchet said: “Words cannot describe the sadness felt when an officer loses his life serving in the line of duty.
“The entire Northamptonshire Police family wish to pass on our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this truly awful point in time.
“Colleagues from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit are still investigating the collision, and specialist family liaison officers will continue to support Faizaan’s family in the coming days and weeks.
“We are also carrying out an internal health and safety investigation.”
