A DEVIZES man has been charged with dangerous driving and drink driving after a car went out of control in Nursteed Road, Devizes, on June 18.

Ricky Kallmeiere, aged 40, of Hodge Close, will appear before North West Wiltshire Magistrates Court on September 8.

The charge follows an accident in which a car went through the fence of a home and into a garage wall. The couple, who own the home, returned home from a funeral to find devastation.

The home owners spoke at the time about their worries over road safety for children who walk to nearby Devizes School along Nursteed Road.
