POLICE have charged a 40 year old man with causing death by careless driving following the death of a mum of two in Wrecclesham last September

Amy Harris, 38, had just collected a client’s dog from a house on the A325 Wrecclesham Road, and was walking on the pavement between the junctions of Echo Barn Lane and Quennells Hill, when she was hit by a white Peugeot Boxer van at around 11.30am on September 19.

Surrey Police officers, South East Coast Ambulance and Surrey Air Ambulance attended the incident, but Mrs Harris was declared dead at the scene. The six-month old puppy Cooper also sustained fatal injuries.

A statement from Amy’s family at the time read: "Amy was a loving and caring wife and mother to two children and will be missed terribly.

"Her family ask for privacy and sensitivity at this difficult time."

A 40 year old man from Guildford is due to appear at South West Surrey Magistrate’s Court in Guildford on March 27.
