A Bedfordshire Police officer has been jailed for careless driving after causing a collision which left a woman with serious injuries.
PC Misho Tamoev was off-duty when he failed to give way to traffic at a junction in Leicestershire on November 23 2024. The driver of the other vehicle suffered multiple injuries including a broken spine.
Tamoev was charged with causing serious injury by careless or inconsiderate driving and pleaded guilty at Leicester Magistrates’ Court in January. He was sentenced to 10 months in prison yesterday (Thursday) and was banned from driving for two years and five months.
The force said: “The officer had received a final written warning for discreditable conduct at an earlier accelerated misconduct hearing after it was deemed his actions had amounted to gross misconduct.”
