A man has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a teenager was killed in a crash in Leeds.

Ashton Kitchen-White, 19, died after he was struck by a red Ford Focus as he crossed Middleton Ring Road in Beeston Park on Friday.

Regan Kemp, 26, of St Just in Penzance, has been charged and is due before Leeds magistrates later.

Mr Kitchen-White's family said the teenager was "one in a million" and had been about to "embark on his journey to become a doctor at Leeds University".

Two other men have also been arrested in relation to the incident.

Liam Miller, 24, from Polbeth in West Lothian, and Macauley Martin, 26, from Livingston in West Lothian, remain in custody following a public appeal for information, West Yorkshire Police said.
