Hadleigh: Man charged following collision

A man is due in court later this month charged in connection with a serious collision in Hadleigh in May.

A red BMW and a red Volkswagen were in collision in London Road at around 9.10pm on Thursday 2 May.

Two people sustained serious injuries and were taken to hospital and two men were arrested.

One of the arrested men – Sean Kirkham, of Longtown Road, Brampton, Cumbria – has now been charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving, drink driving, and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

He is due to appear at Southend Magistrates’ Court on 18 November.

The second man arrested has since been told he faces no further action.
