A DRIVER has been charged over a horror crash in which the Range Rover he was believed to be driving fell onto train tracks, killing his female passenger.
Rida Kazem, 23, was charged with three offences, including causing death by dangerous driving, after allegedly smashing into a Tesla and then onto the tracks by Park Royal Tube Station in Ealing, West London, in the early hours of August 22.
Mum-of-one Yagmur Ozden was a passenger in the car when she was killed after being thrown from the vehicle during the collision.
The 33-year-old beautician died of multiple traumatic injuries, while the driver, believed to be Mr Kazem, was rushed to hospital in critical condition.
An inquest was told how Baghdad-born Yagmur was declared dead at the scene around 40 minutes after the crash.
A man in his 50s, who was in the Tesla that was crashed into, was treated at the scene by paramedics.
