A WOMAN from Dorchester is due to appear in court in connection with a reported fail-to-stop crash.

It was reported that at around 1.10pm on Tuesday, December 21 last year a crash occurred involving a silver Mercedes, which was stationary, and a silver or grey Mini Clubman in the car park outside Parkhouse Pet Supplies on the Marabout Industrial Estate.

Following enquiries, Elizabeth Leigh-Ewers, aged 67, from the Dorchester area has been issued with a postal requisition to appear at Weymouth Magistrates Court on Tuesday, May 24 for offences of failing to stop after a road accident and failing to report a road accident.
