Man to appear in court following arrest in Bulgaria

A 64-year-old man accused of causing the death of a man in a serious collision has been extradited to the United Kingdom after being arrested in Bulgaria.

Fethi Kavas is charged with one count of causing death by dangerous driving and one count of causing serious injury by dangerous driving following an incident on January 28, 2018, on the M1 southbound, just before junction 17, when the driver of a lorry was in collision with two stationary cars.

As a result of the collision, a 53-year-old man - David Levett - sadly died.

Kavas travelled to Turkey following the collision and did not return to the United Kingdom, leading to a red notice for his arrest being issued.

Last month (February 22), he was arrested in Bulgaria and extradited to the United Kingdom, arriving on March 13.

He appeared at Northampton Magistrates’ Court on March 14 and will next appear at Northampton Crown Court on April 25.
