A serving police officer is to stand trial accused of dangerous driving after allegedly running a red light in a police car before smashing into another car at speed.

At a hearing at Forfar Sheriff Court she was accused of causing the crash in Arbroath’s Burnside Drive, at it’s junction with Brothock Bridge, on November 24, 2014.
Pc Jones faces a single charge of dangerous driving, and is accused of driving a marked police car dangerously while on duty.
