A man has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving in connection with a fatal collision that occurred on the M4 motorway three months ago. The collision tragically claimed the lives of two women.
The incident took place in the early hours of Monday, July 17, on the eastbound carriageway of the M4 between junctions 22 and 21. Emergency services swiftly responded to the two-vehicle collision. Sadly, two women in their 50s and 60s were pronounced dead at the scene. Other occupants of the same vehicle required medical treatment and were transported to the hospital.
Liam Slade, a 33-year-old resident of Aberthaw Circle in Newport, has been charged with multiple offences related to the collision. He faces two counts each of causing death by dangerous driving, causing death by driving while disqualified, and causing serious injury by dangerous driving. Slade was remanded overnight and is scheduled to appear at Bristol Magistrates Court today, Tuesday, October 10.
As part of the ongoing investigation, three other men were arrested but have since been released without charge.
