An 18-year-old woman has been charged with manslaughter over a crash last year in Palmerston North that killed a pedestrian.
Thomas David Martin, 59, was killed on Main St on October 14, when a car allegedly "clipped another vehicle, hit a traffic island and rolled onto the footpath", colliding with him.
An ambulance was called, but Martin died at the scene.
A passenger in the car was seriously injured, while the driver and front passenger received minor to moderate injuries.
An 18-year-old woman has now been charged with manslaughter over the crash.
