OFFICER IN OXFORD TAXI CRASH TO FACE GROSS MISCONDUCT HEARING
A police officer involved in a horrific crash which left a South Oxfordshire taxi driver in hospi- tal will face a ‘gross misconduct’ hear- ing, the Indepen- dent Office for Police
Conduct
(IOPC) has said. The Herald reports that
provisional
findings from an IOPC investigation suggest that the officer ‘may have a case to answer over the manner of his driving’. Go Green Taxis say their driver Neil Chalmers remains in hospital some eight months after the crash on the A4130
near Wallingford, which involved one other car. Full details about Mr Chalmers’ condition remain unknown, but he underwent ten hours of surgery and was in a ‘seri- ous’ condition after the collision on Jan- uary 2. The driver of the police car – who is expected to be identified at a public hearing – and anoth- er officer were also seriously injured in the crash, but have since returned to work. South Central Am- bulance
Service
sent six vehicles to the scene in Crow-
marsh Hill, where one other driver was treated for minor injuries. The IOPC launched a mandatory investi- gation following the incident, and said Thames Valley Police ‘agreed’ with its con- clusions so far. A spokesman for the
organisation said: “A police officer driving a marked car which was involved in a crash in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, will face a gross miscon- duct hearing follow- ing an IOPC investi- gation. “The police car was responding to an

Go Green Taxis declined to com- ment further, but previously released
a statement which read:
“We have
been in constant contact with Neil and his family dur- ing this difficult time. “He would like to say thank you for the outpouring of love that he has received. Please be assured that we will pass on any mes- sages of goodwill. “We wish all who were involved in this accident a speedy recovery and our thoughts are with the families during this tough time.” The full report will be published after the hearing, IOPC said.
