A teenager will appear in court today charged with a number of offences relating to a fatal car crash.

19-year-old Andrew Reeday will go before the Magistrates Court.

He's charged with allowing 18-year-old Peel man Craig Bridgewater to drive his vehicle with no driving licence or insurance.

Both incidents allegedly took place on March 8th - the night a 14-year-old schoolgirl died when the car she was travelling in, along with seven others, crashed on the Switchback Road.

He's also charged with wasting police time.
