A Woodstock police officer has been charged with careless driving after her cruiser hit the back of another vehicle while she was responding to a call last week.
The charge comes following a police investigation.
Const. Crystal Hough, who has been with Woodstock police for six years, is facing a fine of $490 and the loss of demerit points.
The crash happened last Friday on Devonshire Avenue near Valleyview Drive at 11:30 p.m.
Damage to the cruiser was estimated at $3,000, while the other vehicle had about $1,000 in damage.
In 2011, Hough was demoted for fleeing the scene of an accident after she drove into a parked car.
Her rank was downgraded from first class to second class in that incident.
