Woodhouse: Pair charged over crash that killed two men

Two people have been charged over the death of two men who were killed in a crash in Leicestershire.

The men were passengers in a black Range Rover Sport that crashed into a wall before colliding with a grey Volkswagen Transporter in Forest Road, Woodhouse, on Tuesday.

The pair - one in his 20s and one in his 30s - died at the scene.

Scott Fitzgerald, 36, and Sean Fitzgerald, 31, are due to appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Friday.

A 35-year-old man who was also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on bail, the force added.
