A police officer has been temporarily suspended from driving police vehicles after a patrol car ran a red light and failed to stop at a pedestrian crossing.
Witham man Jim Moore filmed the car on Friday as he followed it along South Street in Braintree.
Supt Joe Wrigley said today: “This incident is being investigated by Essex Police’s Professional Standards Department.
“Whilst that investigation is ongoing, the officer’s authority to drive police vehicles has been withdrawn.”
