A police officer has been fined £100 after admitting careless driving following a crash that left a man with life-changing injuries.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said PC Charlotte Parry was responding to a grade one call on 18 March.
The police van she was driving collided with a Subaru on the A47 King Richards Road, Leicester.
A passenger in the Subaru, a man in his 40s, was injured in the crash.
PC Parry admitted driving a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or in a public place without due care and attention and was sentenced at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
The 26-year-old was also told to pay a £34 victim surcharge and £85 in costs.
The IOPC said it carried out an investigation looking into the manner of PC Parry's driving following a mandatory referral from Leicestershire Police.
At the end of their inquiries and following talks with the force, the IOPC said it was agreed PC Parry had a case to answer for misconduct.
A Leicestershire Police spokesman said they "will now consider the matter as part of misconduct proceedings".
