A woman arrested following a fatal collision in Peterborough will face no further action, Cambridgeshire police have confirmed.
The collision, which involved a Vauxhall Astra and Mercedes Sprinter, happened at about 1.40am on May 26 in Southgate Way.
Officers and paramedics attended to provide first aid but a passenger in the Astra, Alexander Edney, 44, of Romsey Close, Aldershot, Hampshire, died at the scene.
Later, two women, aged 27 and 35, who are believed to have been in the Astra, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and kidnap. Both were taken to Peterborough City Hospital for treatment.
Kathryn Watkins, 35 of no fixed address, has now been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, causing death by driving a vehicle while uninsured, failing to stop and common assault. She did not enter a plea at a court hearing last week.
Today Cambridgeshire police said the 27-year-old woman, who is from Kent and remains in hospital, will face no further action regarding the case.
