Death crash accused in court
Comments |
A man accused of causing the death of a student has made a brief
appearance at court.
Mateusz Makiewicz, of Canterbury Road, Sittingbourne, was
arrested two days after a crash on the A2 at Moor Street, in
Rainham, which killed 19-year-old April George.
April, who studied criminal justice at the University of Kent's
Chatham Maritime campus, was travelling with her father Steven in a
Peugeot 206 when they were involved in a collision with a Citeron
Picassso on December 7.
Makiewicz, a 29-year-old Polish national, was charged with
causing death by careless driving, but has not entered a plea in
relation to the charge.
He appeared before Medway magistrates today. The case against
him was adjourned for a week and he was remanded in custody.
April, who had a part-time job as a receptionist at Sheerness
Dental Centre, was given emergency treatment at the scene, but died
in hospital later.
Mr George, of Crouch Hill Court, Lower Halstow, suffered a
fractured pelvis and bleeding in his spleen. He has since been
released from hospital.
Makiewicz will next appear at the same court on Friday, January
20, when his case is expected to be committed to crown court.
