Lee Barker faces charges of death of Louise Cooper in A13 crash

A MAN charged with careless driving in connection with a crash that killed a young woman has appeared in court.

Lee Barker, of Beresford Crescent, West Bromwich, faced the charge following a crash on the A13 between Stanford-le- Hope and the Five Bells roundabout at Basildon.

Louise Cooper, of Celedon Close, Chafford Hundred, had got out of her car after a minor shunt.

The 23-year-old was hit by a lorry and died instantly from her injuries, on February 11 this year.

Barker, 38, appeared at Grays Magistrates’ Court to face the charge.

The case was adjourned and Barker was released on bail.

He will reappear at the court in November.
