A high-ranking South Australian police officer has been fined after admitting to failing to stop following a car crash in Adelaide’s city centre. 

During the incident on Morphett Street in February, Brevet Sergeant Daryl Mundy, who had dedicated 35 years to his role in the police force, was running for re-election as the deputy president of the Police Association.

Dashcam footage captured Mundy in a heated exchange immediately after the collision.

The footage shows him yelling, “You’ve gotta give way.”

The occupants of the other car reply by shouting, “It’s give way to the right you idiot… give way to the right, that’s the rules”.

Allan Kelson, the driver of the other vehicle, said he was surprised to learn of Mundy’s position. 

“Very surprised … from a supposedly high-standing member of the community upholding the law,” he said.

Mundy claimed he was unaware of the crash until police contacted him weeks later. 

He did not appear in court, but his lawyer entered guilty pleas on his behalf to two charges, including failing to stop.

The magistrate chose not to record a conviction against the 56-year-old, citing his extensive service to the community. 

Testimonials, the magistrate noted, “really paint him, quite rightly, as an amazing person who’s made a one-off mistake”.

Mundy was ordered to pay a $2000 fine.

Kelson handed over his dashcam to police, who then issued him with an expiation for failing to give way. 

He’s planning to fight the fine in court
