A MAN is due to appear in court in connection with causing a crash resulting in serious injuries near Bridport.

A collision occurred at around 9.30am on November 15 last year on the B3157 Coast Road, near to the junction of Cogden Beach car park, Burton Bradstock.

It involved a Citroen Berlingo and a Ford Focus.

A passenger in the Citroen, a woman aged in her 70s, and the two occupants of the Ford – both Weymouth women aged in their 20s – were taken to hospital via an air ambulance with serious injuries.

The casualties were cut free from vehicles by the fire service as all three emergency services and the air ambulance attended the incident.

The driver of the Citroen was also treated for minor injuries.

Following enquiries, a 70-year-old man from Axminster has been issued with a postal requisition to appear at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court on February 16 for an offence of driving without due care and attention.
