A teenager has been charged over an alleged hit-and-run road crash in which a pedestrian was knocked down and her dog killed.
The dog walker was hit from behind in Doe Bank Lane, Great Barr, Birmingham, on July 22, and her “beloved” pet dog Millie died at the side of the road, West Midlands Police said.
Police footage of the crash scene shared online went viral and was viewed by millions.
Kallum Aish, 18, is accused of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, driving with no insurance or licence, criminal damage and cannabis possession.
Aish, of Finchley Road in Kingstanding, is set to appear at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on January 28.
A police spokesman said: “We wish the woman injured in the crash all the best in her continued recovery.”
