Worcestershire woman charged with Australia e-scooter death
Alicia Kemp, from Redditch, is accused of riding an e-scooter after a night of drinking. Prosecutors said she hit 51-year-old Thanh Phan in Perth on 31 May at speeds of 20-25kmph.
The father-of-two hit his head and died two days later, prompting police to charge Ms Kemp with death by dangerous driving while under the influence. The charge carries a maximum 20-year prison term.
In a subsequent court hearing, prosecutors alleged Ms Kemp, of Redditch, had been drinking with a friend before both boarded the same scooter. She was denied bail and faces court again on 15 July.
