A man has been charged over the death of a woman in a car crash on the M6 nearly two years ago.

Chloe Williams, 19, from Dudley, was a passenger in one of three cars involved in the collision near Sandbach in Cheshire in December 2022.

Cheshire Police said Daniel Barlow, 29, of Burnley Road in Crawshawbooth, Lancashire, had been summonsed to court.

He is due to appear at Crewe Magistrates' Court on 4 November, accused of causing death by dangerous driving.

Mr Barlow has also been charged with two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, and one count of making a false statement to obtain a driving licence.

The crash happened on the M6 northbound between junction 16 and junction 17 on 2 December 2022.

Mr Barlow was arrested soon after the crash and then released on bail.

Ms Williams's family said at the time that the teenager had died shortly before starting her "dream career" with British Airways.
