I thought the latest accident).A spokesman for the force refused to divulge details of the crash but told the BBC that “as result of the incident, GMP is reviewing its policy on officers test driving cars”.
The driver is reported to have been taken to hospital with a back injury (maybe he has come back and thinking how to get money to paid it.). He also been suspended from driving duties. The police was testing the capabilities of the car when it crash and it is not known when the accident is happened. The car is the most powerful and fastest Golf ever produced and can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 5.7 seconds.
