A police constable serving with West Mercia Police has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
The charge follows an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
PC Abigail Myers, 29, is to appear at Kidderminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
Myers is accused of causing death by dangerous driving and death by careless driving during an incident in Evesham on January 27, 2022.
The police car she was driving while responding to an emergency assistance call was involved in a collision on Elm Road with a vehicle driven by 59-year-old Marcus Evans, who died at the scene.
A spokesman for the IOPC said: "At the end of our investigation in July 2022, we referred our report to the Crown Prosecution Service who subsequently decided to bring the charges after reviewing the evidence."
