A 28-year-old New Windsor man has been charged with driving a vehicle in a dangerous manner causing death, four months after a Christmas Day crash that resulted in the death of a pedestrian who was a single mother of six.
The man is due in the Auckland District Court today for his first appearance.
Aucklander Charlotte Maugakiona Tyrrell, 28, died after she was struck by a vehicle on Rosamund Ave in New Windsor around 10.30pm on December 25.
Tyrrell was the mother of six children under the age of 8, the youngest of whom had been born just two months before her death.
"What was meant to be a happy, family-filled day ended in our worst nightmare," Tyrrell's family told the Herald in a statement days after her death. "She was loved by many and even though she was only 28, her network reached far and wide, with many friends and people who knew her.
