Road Rage Death: Man Charged With Killing


A man has appeared in court charged with the manslaughter of a motorist fatally injured during a late-night hit-and-run last year.

Anthony Young, 40, (pictured) of West Norwood, South London was hit by a car at around 11.40pm on Friday, October 22, at the junction of Trinity Road and Magdalen Road, Wandsworth.

Jesse Nixon, 26, of Hitchin, Hertfordshire appeared on bail at South Western Magistrates’ Court on June 17. He was charged on June 8.

Police and ambulance services were called to the scene and Mr Young was rushed to St. George's Hospital, Tooting - but was pronounced dead at 1.53am the following morning.

The post-mortem gave his cause of death as a head injury.

Mr. Young was driving a gold Nissan Micra and was involved in an altercation with the driver of a blue Ford Fiesta, before the car hit him.
