The rapper Ghetts has been charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving after a fatal crash in north-east London.
The musician, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, allegedly failed to stop after hitting a 20-year-old man in Redbridge Lane East, Ilford, on Saturday, 18 October, the Met Police said.
Mr Clarke-Samuel, 41, appeared at Stratford Magistrates’ Court on Monday, the same day the man died in hospital. The indictment is expected to change from causing serious injury to causing death by dangerous driving at the next hearing.
The rapper, from Woodford Green, was remanded into custody and is due to appear at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 27 October.
