A police officer has been hit with a driving ban and fined after causing serious injury in a crash while rushing to an emergency.
PC Parsons Crashes While Chasing a Firearms Call
PC Dan Parsons, 32, was behind the wheel of an unmarked police car on Sunday 24 November 2024, speeding through a red light at a busy Emersons Green roundabout. He was responding to a suspected firearms incident in Longwell Green when he collided with a 19-year-old woman on a pedestrian crossing.
A young woman was left with significant injuries and is still recovering. Our thoughts remain with her and her family.
Police officers must always follow national and local guidance and their training when responding to emergencies.
Following the incident, a mandatory referral was made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct who deemed a local investigation appropriate.
With the criminal case now closed, we will move forward with the misconduct process.”
