A second man has been charged following a two-car crash in which a man died.

George Greaves, 31, from Hampshire, was killed in the collision between a Lexus and a Nissan Micra on the A338 near Bournemouth in June. He was the front seat passenger of the Nissan.

The Lexus driver, Yusuf Muzil, 23, of Cricklewood, London, was sentenced to 12 years in prison in September.

A 29-year-old man from London has now been arrested and charged with causing death by dangerous driving.

Dorset Police has also charged him with two offences of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, fraudulent use of registration and causing death by driving a vehicle with no insurance.

He is due to appear at Poole Magistrates' Court later.

Mr Greaves died at the scene, which was near the Ashley Heath Roundabout. Two other people in the vehicle were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Muzil later admitted causing death by dangerous driving and two charges of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
