A 36 year old male Constable from the southern region will be charged with negligent driving, and the alternative charge of driving without due care and attention following a motor vehicle crash at Otago Bay on Sunday 21 July 2019.

Additional charges include failing to give way when making a U-turn and failing to signal when turning right.

The officer remains on operational duty and has been summoned to appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court on 22 November 2019.

As the matter is now before the court it is inappropriate to make any further comment.
