A Tesla driver has been charged over an M4 lorry crash that killed two women.
Mother and daughter Cheryl Woods, 61, and Sarha Smith, 40, were crushed to death by a HGV after it toppled over onto their car on the eastbound carriageway in Wiltshire in October last year.
The incident sparked a significant emergency response, but despite the efforts of first responders – the pair, from Caerphilly in Wales, could not be saved.
Following an investigation into the road traffic collision, Firas Zeineddine – the driver of a Tesla involved – has been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
The 45-year-old, of Bluebell Drive, Keynsham, is due to appear at Swindon Magistrates’ Court on 21 January 2025.
