A motorist is to appear in court next month after he was charged with causing death by dangerous driving in mid-Essex.
The driver of a Ford Escort van appeared to loose control of his vehicle while travelling along Leighams Road and struck a tree shortly after 9:30pm on Saturday, September 28, 2013.
One of four passengers, 18-year-old William Andrews from Shirebourn Vale in South Woodham Ferrers, was pronounced dead at the scene, while another passenger was seriously injured.
The driver, Nicholas Weston, 22, of Pedlars Path in Danbury, is currently on police bail, but he will also face one count of causing serious injury to another passenger by dangerous driving when he appears at Chelmsford Magistrates Court on Wednesday, August 27.
