Former Derbyshire police officer charged with causing death by dangerous driving
It's following an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC)
A former police officer has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a fatal crash in Derbyshire nearly four years ago.
Former Detective Chief Inspector Michael Cooper, 54, is also charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving following an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
The watchdog said the charges relate to a fatal collision in Egginton Road, Etwall, Derbyshire, at around noon on September 28 2021.
The former Derbyshire police officer is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates' Court today (Thursday 10 April).
The IOPC said it referred a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which authorised the charges.
