Officer accused of causing serious dangerous driving lesions

The following statement has been issued by the Independent Police Behavior Office (IAPC) today:

An Avon and Somerset police officer has been accused of causing serious dangerous lesions, after an independent office for police conduct investigation.

We started an investigation after a collision that involved an unmarked police vehicle and a public member of the public in Bristol, around 11.30 am, on September 6, 2023.

PC Daniel Fortune, 41, was at the A4 Portway, leading to a police incident, when the Volvo XC90 passed through a red light and collided with a car driven by a public member, at the crossroads with Hung Road. The driver suffered serious injuries and the passenger in the Volvo was also injured.

At the end of our investigation in May 2024, we sent our report to the Service of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Corona, who subsequently decided to submit the position last month.

The PC fortune must appear before the Cheltenham Magistrates court on February 27, 2025.
