A 45-year-old Marton man is to appear in Feilding District Court this month on charges related to the death of a cyclist in November.
Patricia Anne Veronica Fraser, 34, from Longburn near Palmerston North, was cycling on November 13 with her best friend. Both were training to take part in the Lake Taupo Cycle Challenge.
The pair were riding single file along SH3 near Mount Stewart when a car travelling in the same direction collided with Ms Fraser about 2.45pm, police said.
"Following an extensive investigation and review of all of the circumstances, a 45-year-old man from Marton has been charged with careless driving causing death," police said.
The man is due to appear in Feilding District Court on January 26.
