Police have laid charges against a woman more than five months after a crash that killed a 17-year-old.
Allanah Walker died on August 22 last year after a two-car crash on Malaghans Road in Arrowtown.
On Wednesday police said a woman, who is currently overseas, would be charged with dangerous driving causing death.
We have been in contact with the womans lawyer and she has been informed of this decision, a police statement said.

No court dates have been announced, and details will be released once the woman returns to New Zealand.
In a tribute read at Walkers funeral last August, her mother Sarah Walker said: From the moment you arrived you were a power to beyond reason.
You drove me crazy. You were like a cyclone, bursting with energy and filling the room.
Walker was remembered as an awesome and amazing daughter of Sarah and the late Brendon and crazy big sister of Ethan.
Allanah Walker was killed in a car crash in Arrowtown in August 2020.
