PC Ryan Lee was speeding towards Worksop with his blue lights
A speeding Nottinghamshire Police officer who struck a hare at 91mph while using his emergency lights for no reason has been sacked. PC Ryan Lee was speeding towards Worksop using his blue lights on April 26 last year when he hit the animal causing "significant damage" to the car, a misconduct hearing at Nottinghamshire Police's Sherwood Lodge headquarters heard.
He continued for more than three miles, before stopping at a service station and reporting the damage to his supervisor. Liz Briggs, presenting counsel for Nottinghamshire Police, said the collision had caused "significant damage" to the response car. She added that if PC Lee had been responding to an emergency, instead of rushing back to the station, his standard of driving would have been acceptable. PC Lee's Police Federation representative said the officer had been "very open and forthcoming" about his misconduct and explained that he was usually an exemplary employee.
