A woman in her 80s is charged after a fatal accident in Växjö earlier this year when a woman in her 75s died, reports P4 Kronoberg.

The now accused woman was going to reverse her car, but she didn’t check that the reverse was really in. Instead, she drove forward and hit the woman who died. A child was also hit, but was not seriously injured.

The fatal accident occurred in a parking lot in March.

The woman is charged with causing the death of another and negligence in traffic.
