A man has been charged with causing the death of a mother and son in a hit-and-run collision in Derbyshire.

A 27-year-old has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, causing death by driving while unlicensed and uninsured, failing to stop after an accident and failing to report an accident.

It comes after a 59-year-old woman and her 22-year-old son died when their Hyundai collided with a black BMW on the A632 Chesterfield Road in Span Carr, near Kelstedge, at about 10.20am on Saturday.

The victims are yet to be named by police.

Derbyshire Constabulary said on Tuesday that Hill, of Wheata Road, Sheffield, would appear before Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court later on Tuesday.

A 40-year-old man previously arrested in connection with the collision remains on bail.
