A man has been charged following a crash in Kenilworth on Sunday (November 2) which led to the death of another man.

David Ball, 39, of Watling Road, Kenilworth, has been charged with driving a motor vehicle whilst over the prescribed alcohol limit.

He will appear at Warwickshire Magistrates' Court on 19 November 2025.

Emergency services were called to Leamington Road at around 8.20pm, following a report of a car hitting a pedestrian.

The pedestrian - a man in his 30s - was taken to hospital by ambulance where he later died.

He has been named as 30-year-old Jake (Jacob) Powell.

"We're continuing our investigation into the collision, and anyone who witnessed the incident or has any dashcam footage and has not yet spoken to police is asked to call 101 or email [email protected] quoting incident number 326 of 2 November 2025," Warwickshire Police said.

Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and a critical care car from The Air Ambulance Service responded to the scene alongside police.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "When ambulance staff arrived on scene they found a man, a pedestrian, being given CPR by police.

"Crews immediately took over resuscitation efforts to perform advanced life support before rapidly conveying him to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for further emergency care.

"Sadly, nothing could be done to save the man, and he died later in hospital."
