Two men have been charged over the death of a teenage student who was knocked down in Belfast last year.

Enda Dolan, from Killyclogher in County Tyrone, was killed when he was hit by a van as he walked along the Malone Road in the early hours of 15 October.

The 18-year-old had been returning to his student flat.

The men, aged 20 and 30, face a number of charges, including causing death by dangerous driving and causing death by driving carelessly when unfit.

They will appear at Belfast Magistrates' Court on 4 August.

Mr Dolan was a first-year architecture student at Queen's University in Belfast.

A crash barrier that residents living near the scene of the collision said would have saved his life had been removed less than a month before his death.

The Department for Regional Development later installed new safety measures at the spot where Mr Dolan was killed.
