A MAN has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs after a motorcyclist was seriously injured in a Netherton crash.

The 28-year-old, from Wolverhampton, has been bailed to appear at Walsall Magistrates Court on November 4.

This follows a crash on Halesowen Road, near the junction with Northcott Road, on June 8.

The 24-year-old motorcyclist was in a critical condition when he was rushed to Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital but is now making a recovery at home.
