Liverpool driver charged with causing death by dangerous driving after passenger killed in horror crash

A LIVERPOOL man was charged with causing death by dangerous driving over a horror crash in which a young man was killed.

In February Steven Casey, from Liverpool, was a back seat passenger in a black BMW M5 heading towards Plymouth on the A38 when the car is thought to have veered off the road in treacherous conditions.

The 21-year-old, known by friends as Ste, died in the crash while two other passenger escaped with just minor injuries.

The road was closed for nine hours as accident investigators recovered the car and collected evidence.

The alleged driver of the car was arrested at the scene and bailed until last week.

When he returned to a police station in Devon, Shaun Walker, 28, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving.

Walker, of Riverbank Road, Garston, appeared at Exeter magistrates’ court on Thursday.

During the short hearing he spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address.

Walker was then given conditional bail while the case was sent to Exeter Crown Court.

It will next be heard on July 22.

In the aftermath of the crash, a tribute page was set up on social networking site Facebook.

Friends posted memories and music videos in memory of Steven.
