BLANDFORD man Brett Davidson has been charged in connection with a crash which left a driver with “serious injuries”.

Davidson, 67, of Salisbury Road, Blandford, has been charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving after the crash, on the A350 near East Knoyle at around 8.45pm on Saturday (July 4).

Dorset Police said they were called to reports of a crash involving a Vauxhall Corsa and a BMW.

“The driver of the BMW, a man in his 40s, suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment,” a spokesperson said.

Davidson, the driver of the Corsa, was later charged and appeared at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court on Monday morning (July 6) where he was remanded into custody ahead of his next appearance, at Salisbury Crown Court, on August 5.

PC Craig Beales, from the Roads Policing Unit, said: “This was a serious collision in which the victim suffered significant injuries, and Davidson has now been charged in connection with it and remanded into custody.

“I’d like to thank our colleagues from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary for their assistance in securing evidence.”
