A 20-year-old Melksham man has been charged with dangerous driving in connection with a car crash in which 14-year-old schoolgirl Leonie Newbury was seriously injured.

Jake Taylor, who had been driving the silver Ford Focus on Rowden Hill when it crashed into a wall outside Chippenham Community Hospital on Sunday, November 9, will appear before Chippenham Magistrates' Court on Thursday, May 14.

Leonie, a Year 9 pupil at Corsham School, suffered serious head and internal injuries in the crash. She has since recovered from her injuries and is now back at school.
