A Wigan man has been charged after a fatal crash in Newton-Le-Willows last year.
On Monday 10 June 2024 at around 10:30pm, it was reported that a white Ford Kruga was travelling along Southworth Road in the direction of Church Street when it left the road and hit a tree close to the junction of Mere Road.
Jonathan Mennell, 35, a passenger in the car, died at the scene.
Martin Green, 36, of Beech Avenue, Wigan, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, drink-driving, and failing to co-operate with preliminary tests.
He appeared at Liverpool Magistrate's Court today (27 June) and is set to appear before the crown court next month.
