A Chatteris man who was charged with causing the death of a 28-year-old by driving while unfit through alcohol will appear in court next month.
Marcin Pilarski, 33, of West Street, was charged with causing the death of Sam Pope, who was struck by a Vauxhall Astra at 11pm on Saturday, May 11.
Mr Pope, of Lincoln Road, Peterborough, died at the scene on Oil Mills Road between Pondersbridge and Ramsey Mereside.
Pilarski was also charged with failing to stop at the scene of a collision, driving with no licence and driving with no insurance.
He is due to appear at Cambridge Crown Court on June 11.
Police continue to appeal for witnesses and dashcam footage as well as anyone who saw a man walking along Oil Mills Road prior to the collision.
Officers would also like to speak to anyone who may have seen a silver Astra after the collision.
Anyone who saw the collision or has dashcam footage of it should report it through the force website using reference 35/NT/13906/24.
In a statement, Sam’s family said: “Sam was a free spirit, who liked to live his life at 100 mph and believed that rules were meant to be broken.
“We shall miss his smile and crazy sense of humour that would always make you laugh, despite what mood you were in that day.
“Sam was a rough diamond with a heart made of gold and will leave a big hole in our lives.”
