    A twist in the court case over a fatal hit and run in Christchurch's Linwood

    A twist in the court case over a fatal hit and run in Christchurch's Linwood


    45 year old Sean William Russell Innes died in Christchurch Hospital two weeks after being hit by a car on Linwood Avenue on September 13.

    Initially, a 43-year-old Ashburton man was charged with dangerous driving causing injury, driving while disqualified, and failing to stop or ascertain injury.

    Now, another man, Anthony Alexander Thomas, is charged with dangerous driving causing death and failing to stop.

    The 31-year-old Ashburton farmer is also charged with conspiring with the other man to have him prosecuted, knowing he was innocent.

    The charge carries a maximum penalty of seven years' imprisonment.
