The accused, a police officer, was responding to an emergency call and drove his police cruiser at 178 km/h in a 50 km/h residential zone.
He collided with a civilian vehicle making a left turn, causing bodily harm to the civilian driver.
The court found that while the civilian driver failed to pull over, the accused's excessive speed in a residential area with multiple hazards was a marked departure from the standard of care expected of a reasonable police officer in the circumstances.
The accused was found guilty of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.
