Police car rear-ended after sudden stop to avoid crash

(CNS): A marked police car on patrol on Shamrock Road in Bodden Town on Tuesday was rear-ended just before 4:00pm after a White Honda Fit in front of it made “a sudden manoeuvre” while exiting a local shopping centre. The officer driving had to make a sudden stop, causing the vehicle behind the police car to crash into it, the RCIPS said in a release.

The police officer was transported by ambulance to the hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and later released.

The male driver of the Honda Fit, who was wearing a green high-visibility shirt, failed to stop as required under the Traffic Act, which may constitute an offence under the same referred legislation, the police said.
