KEY POINTS:
An Auckland police officer has pleaded not guilty to aggravated careless use of a motor vehicle causing injury, after his unmarked car crashed and seriously injured a schoolboy.
Aaron Holmes, 29, was driving a car which crashed into a lamp post outside an Auckland primary school in August.
The post then struck 13-year-old Farhat Buksch.
Holmes has been bailed until his trial in May.
He is still working as a specialist traffic officer, but is no longer allowed behind the wheel of police cars.
