A man has been charged in connection with the hit-and-run
death of 16-year-old Jade Clark.
A Volvo XC90 struck Jade Clark off her red moped as she was
riding along the A31 on Sunday 24th February. An inquest heard that
she died from a severe head injury.
Brian Hampton, 58, from Ashford, Kent was arrested on
Thursday morning, and a Volvo XC90 was seized.
Hampton has been charged with three offences – causing death
by careless driving, failing to stop following a collision and driving while
disqualified.
Inspector Matt Butler, of Dorset Police Traffic Unit said:
“I would like to express my personal gratitude to the local community and the media
for the huge amount of support”.
Officers launched an extensive search to hunt down the
driver of the Volvo XC90, and eliminated over 1000 vehicles prior to the
arrest.
