A pensioner will appear in court next month accused of causing the death of cyclist Simon Chesher in a hit-and-run.
Mr Chesher, 38, was allegedly struck by 76-year-old Edward Hinchcliffe’s Toyota Corolla on the A417 Reading Road, Wantage, on August 2, 2020.
The Wantage man died a month later. Opening his inquest, senior coroner Darren Salter said Mr Chesher had suffered a serious head injury.
