A 70-year-old man's been charged with driving without due care and attention after a serious accident near Bridport.

The crash involving two cars happened on the B3157 coast road on Sunday 15 November last year, near the junction with Cogden Beach car park.

It involved a Citroen Berlingo and a Ford Focus.

Injuries

A passenger in the Citroen, a woman aged in her 70s, and the two occupants of the Ford - both Weymouth women aged in their 20s - were taken to hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the Citroen was also treated for minor injuries.

A 70-year-old man from Axminster is due to appear at Weymouth Magistrates' Court next week charged with driving without due care and attention.
