Two motorists were killed in two separate incidents on the roads in the Basingstoke area last week.
A 27-year-old man was fatally injured after his Volkswagen Golf crashed into a Volkswagen Tiguan on the A339 at Winslade last Thursday night.
The unnamed Alton driver was driving along the road, close to the Lasham turning, at around 11.55pm when the two-car collision took place.
Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene, with police then charging the driver of the Tiguan, Richard Storry, 34, of Evesharm Road in Worcestershire with causing death by driving without due care and attention, while unfit through drink.
Storry, who was uninjured in the incident, is due to appear at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court today.
Sergeant Darren Ord, frmom the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “We would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed this collision or anyone who may have seen either vehicles prior to the incident.”
And police opened up a separate investigation on Saturday after another driver was killed after having a “medical episode” while travelling north along the A340 in Basingstoke.
Keith Read, 57, of Tippett Gardens in Basingstoke, was driving his Lotus 2eleven along the road at about 3.50pm when the episode occurred.
This caused him to run into a Ford Focus on the Thornycroft roundabout, on the junction of the B3400 Churchill Way West and A340 Ring Way West, before his car eventually stopped on an embankment near Milestones Museum.
The man was treated at the scene by paramedics, but later died after being transported to Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital.
Police are not yet in a position to name either of the two men, although their family have been informed.
Anyone with any information relating to the Winslade collision is asked to call the Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 101, quoting Operation Harmonic.
And police have also asked that eyewitnesses call the JOU Roads Policing Unit at Whitchurch on the same number for the second incident, quoting Operation Thorny.
