Neither of them saw fit to report it until the following day.
The passenger got a written warning.

Epilepsy? I do hope the DVLA have been notified and the copper has surrendered his licence?
He is portrayed as an innocent victim in all this. He didn't report the accident but apparently that's acceptable.One wonders whether the damage to the car he hit has been paid for by the police or the woman he hit.
Epilepsy can indeed cause amnesia.
It can also affect memory in other ways - I have two distinct memories of the same event. They are both equally real in my brain. I know the real chain of events (from my wife) but the incorrect memory still seems as real.
It can also cause temporary blindness - so maybe our officer couldn’t see the damage when he had finished driving back, blind, to the station.
What, to the best of my knowledge, is can’t do is transmit any of the same symptoms to a colleague sat next to you. So the ‘not at fault really’ conclusion is in my opinion; b
ks.
Advising it to DVLA is a bit tricky, what constitutes a seizure? Different subject though.
