Mark Downham, a 48-year-old passenger from Chorley, died from his injuries on Monday.

Mr Radu, from Alfreton Road in Nottingham, has also been charged with dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, driving while over the prescribed limit, failing to stop after a collision and driving without insurance.
The 27-year-old did not enter a plea when he appeared before Nottingham Magistrates' Court earlier.
