A MAN was due to appear in court today (Thursday) charged in relation to a crash in which a man was seriously injured.

The passenger, an 18-year-old man from Kneb-worth, suffered serious injuries and after undergoing surgery at the Lister Hospital is currently making a slow but steady recovery at home.
