Police have arrested and charged a 23-year-old man in connection with a car crash in Aberdeen last year which claimed the life of a teenager.

19-year-old Ben Taylor was killed in the crash which happened on South Deeside Road shortly after midnight on September 25.

The 23-year-old driver of the black Audi RS3 he was travelling in plus another male passenger were taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary with minor injuries.

It is understood a full collision investigation was carried out at the time and officers appealed for information from the public in the wake of the crash.
