Anthony Howells, 43, of Reids Piece, Purton, appeared at Swindon Magistrates’ Court on 6 July charged with the murder of a woman in her 70s following a collision on the B4696 near Royal Wootton Bassett last Tuesday.
He faces multiple charges including dangerous driving, driving without insurance, failing to stop at the scene, and failing to provide information.
During the hearing, Howells did not enter a plea and was remanded in custody. The charges relate to a road traffic incident involving a female victim in her 70s from Royal Wootton Bassett, which resulted in her death.
Howells is scheduled to appear again at Bristol Crown Court on 8 July. Police continue to investigate the full circumstances surrounding the collision on the B4696.
Wiltshire Police have remained tight-lipped due to ongoing court proceedings but have emphasised the seriousness of the charges linked to the incident. They have also appealed for witnesses or anyone with further information related to the collision to come forward.
