Police have officially named the man killed in a Port Chalmers crash late last month. 

He was John Douglas Taylor, 44, from Milton.

The crash happened when a car hit a power pole about 9pm on Friday, January 30 in Wickliffe Tce, Port Chalmers. 

A 24-year-old man appeared in court the following Monday charged with dangerous driving causing death and failing to stop and ascertain injury after a crash.

The defendant was granted interim name suppression and is expected to appear again in court later this month.
