Bedlington crash: Man charged with causing 19-year-old Bethany Fisher's death by dangerous driving

A 20-year-old man has been charged with causing the death of Bedlington teenager Bethany Fisher by dangerous driving in an early-morning crash.

Jordan O’Donnell of Waverley Court, Bedlington, is accused of causing death by dangerous driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of a collision and failing to report a collision.

Bethany, 19, was killed in the early hours of Saturday morning, reportedly after a night out celebrating her birthday.

Despite the efforts of neighbours and paramedics, she died of her injuries before she could reach hospital.

A second woman, who was also hurt in the crash, remains in hospital in a stable condition with what police say are “serious but not life threatening injuries”.

Two other men, who were arrested on Saturday, have been released and will face no further charges.
