A 37-year-old driver is facing charges of involuntary homicide following a fatal road traffic collision in Abercrombie on Tuesday, 19 May, that left a motorcyclist dead and his young daughter hospitalised.

The victim, 58-year-old Pradeep Cheekoory, was killed when a German saloon car veered off the road and violently struck him and his child.
