Detectives investigating a fatal collision in which an off-duty police officer lost her life have charged a 78-year-old man in relation to the incident.

Alice Mayo was driving a blue Fiat 500 which was involved in a collision with a white Land Rover Defender at around 9am on Saturday 7 February on the A534 Spark Lane, in Arclid.

Sadly, despite the best efforts of all those involved, the 29-year-old from Congleton, who worked as a Beat Officer in Macclesfield, died at the scene.

The driver of the Land Rover was arrested before being released on bail pending further enquiries.

Following a detailed investigation David Millar, of Sandbach Road, Congleton, has now been charged with one count of causing a death by dangerous driving.

The 78-year-old has been bailed and is next set to appear at Crewe Magistrates' Court on 23 November 2026.
