An Oswestry man has been charged with manslaughter following a fatal collision on the A5 near Chirk last month.

Damien Roberts, aged 27, of College Road in Oswestry was charged with manslaughter on Friday 30 December after having been treated in hospital since the incident.

He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Shrewsbury Crown Court on 30 January 2023.

A black Nissan Qashqai driven by Roberts collided head on with a white Nissan Juke on the bridge over the Ceiriog river at around 7pm on 2 December.

The Nissan Qashqai was travelling southbound on the A5, heading in the direction of Oswestry. The driver of the Nissan Juke, a 49-year-old man, sadly died at the scene.

Following the collision, police appealed for witnesses to the collision or anyone who saw anything of concern on the A5 shortly before to come forward.
