Few details have been released about the crash
A police force has said it is considering changes to its driving policy after an officer wrote off an unmarked car during a test drive.
The Greater Manchester Police officer crashed the VW Golf R on Wharfside Way, Old Trafford, at about 01:50 GMT on 15 December.
The driver was taken to hospital and treated for a back injury.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman refused to reveal details of how the crash happened.
He said that "as a result of the incident, GMP is reviewing its policy on officers test driving cars".
No other vehicles were involved in the crash and the incident is being investigated by officers from GMP's road policing unit.
The officer involved was a member of the force's Automatic Number Plate Recognition intercept team, which works to disrupt the criminal use of motor vehicles
