A 29-year-old man is due to be sentenced this month for causing the death of Hanham teenager Daniel Davies.
Harry Charlton, of Kingswood, pleaded guilty at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on September 6 to causing the death of 16-year-old Daniel by careless driving while over the prescribed limit of drugs.
Charlton’s Ford Fiesta collided with Daniel’s moped on the throughabout at the Wraxall Road junction with the ring road on Easter Sunday two years ago.
Daniel, who had bought the moped just four days before, died at the scene.
Charlton is due to be sentenced at Bristol Crown Court on Monday October 21.
Crash charges decision due
POLICE have finished their investigation into the death of a man who died when a scaffolding lorry overturned on the Avon Ring Road.
A file on the crash which caused the death of Tyler Carley on the A4174 between the Dramway and Siston Hill roundabouts last December has been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, who will decide whether to charge anyone in connection with the incident.
Tyler, who was 20, used to live in Kingswood and attended St Stephen’s infant and junior schools. He was killed when the lorry he was a passenger in collided with the central reservation.
Since his death Tyler’s parents have set up a charitable foundation in his memory, supporting charities which support families affected by road deaths and the loss of children and young people.
