Cop charged over single car smash

(CNS): A 54-year-old police officer has been charged with a number of traffic offences, including careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident, following a single vehicle smash in George Town last month.  A police spokesperson said that while the officer has been suspended from driving police vehicles, he has not been suspended from the service. The police officer was arrested after leaving the scene of a road crash in Ithmar Circle on Friday 14 September at around 1:40am while he was off duty. The officer was arrested sometime after the crash after a report was made to the police about the crash and the driver's departure from the scene.
