A man has been charged after an off-duty police officer was killed in a crash.

Alice Mayo was driving a blue Fiat 500 which was involved in crash with a Land Rover Defender on Saturday 7 February on the A534 Spark Lane, in Arclid

The 29-year-old from Congleton, who worked as a Beat Officer in Macclesfield, died at the scene.

The driver of the Land Rover was arrested before being released on bail pending further enquiries.

Cheshire Police has now confirmed that David Millar, of Sandbach Road, Congleton, has been charged with one count of causing a death by dangerous driving.

The police force said that the 78-year-old has been bailed and is next set to appear at Crewe Magistrates' Court on 23 November 2026.

In a statement released in February, Alice's family said: "Alice meant so much to so many. She was a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a niece, a dog-mum to Ned the Cocker Spaniel, and a friend to so many.

"She was beautiful inside and out. She will leave a huge hole in our lives, but also a legacy of laughter, fun, and sunshine."
