A woman has been charged with manslaughter over the death of a man who used a mobility scooter.

Kimberley Ann Hawkins, 41, of no fixed address, is accused of killing Neil Shadwick in January last year.

The 63-year-old man was found unresponsive in the car park of a Tesco Superstore on Stratford Road, Stroud.

He was without his mobility scooter, which was his mode of transport. He died in hospital on 22 January 2023, the same day as the incident.

Gloucestershire Police said in a statement that Hawkins is due to appear at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on 15 May.
