Detectives investigating a fatal collision in Nether Alderley have charged a man in relation to the incident.

At around 1am on Friday 9th October, police were called to a collision at the Alderley Roundabout on the A34, Alderley Edge Bypass.

On arrival officers found there had been a single vehicle collision involving a black Mazda. 

Three passengers from the vehicle were treated by paramedics at the scene.

Sadly, despite the best efforts of all those involved, one of the rear seat passengers, a 21-year-old woman from Macclesfield, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

The two remaining passengers, a 34-year-old woman from Macclesfield, and a 36-year-old man from Macclesfield, were both taken to hospital.

A 36-year-old man was subsequently arrested in relation to the incident.
