A woman is due to appear in court next month charged in connection with a fatal collision in Dorchester.
Police were called at 7.46pm on Wednesday, December 27 2017 to reports of a collision between a pedestrian and a car on The Grove. It is alleged the driver failed to stop at the scene.
The female pedestrian – 39-year-old Erika Prisacaru from Dorchester – was taken to Dorset County Hospital, but she sadly died from her injuries. She left behind her six-year-old son Andrei who is now being cared for by relatives.
