A motorist has been charged with causing the death of a man in an accident on the A19.
HGV driver Andrew Nimmo was killed and a woman was left seriously injured in a crash on Teesside on August 6 last year.
Cleveland Police today charged a 26-year-old man from the Lincolnshire area with causing death by dangerous driving.
He also faces separate charges of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and causing a false record to be created in respect of drivers hours.
The crash, involving two HGVs and a car, occurred at about 5.25am, just near the slip road from the A1130 Mandale roundabout.
Both northbound and southbound carriageways were closed for several hours due to the smash.
The major route was shut between Mandale roundabout and the A174 roundabout for Low Lane and Maltby, causing severe delays for motorists.
Mr Nimmo, 24, was from Murton in Seaham.
After his death, his family released a photograph of him taken from their last holiday together.
He is pictured with his fiancée and partner of two years Janinne Lesley, also 24, and her daughter Laylah Hope, 5. Andrew and Janinne were due to get married this month.
His family said at the time that they were left “devastated” by his sudden death.
The accused will appear at Teesside Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday July 30.
