Jordan Dowson: Man charged with causing death by dangerous driving


A man has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving nearly a year after teenager Jordan Dowson was killed in a car crash.


The 20-year-old Guisborough man will appear at Teesside Magistrates' Court later this month in connection with the fatal collision.


The 19-year-old, also from Guisborough, was killed in a three-car collision on the A174 Brotton bypass on February 7, 2014.


The talented young footballer, who was travelling in a Vauxhall Corsa, was pronounced dead at the scene.


The crash, which happened at 5pm, also involved a grey Audi estate and a white Volkswagen Scirocco.


Following his death, those who knew Jordan described him as “an amazing person” and a “fantastic footballer”.


A statement from Jordan’s family said the teenager was “a dearly loved son, stepson, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin and great grandson.”


“He was always with a smile on his face, probably best remembered by his laugh,” the statement added.


Jordan played for Guisborough Globe FC in the Teesside Football League Division Two.
