A silver Lexus SUV failed to stop at the scene of the first collision and continued on the A149 until it collided with a street light and road sign near Tesco.
The driver, Malcolm Waite, of Meadow Drive, Hoveton, was subsequently arrested after being treated at James Paget Hospital for minor injuries.
He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm.
Appearing at Norwich Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (August 2), he was remanded in custody ahead of his next court appearance at Norwich Crown Court on September 6.
Flowers have been laid along the A149 between Stepping Stone Lane and Chapel Field Road.
The family of Fenella Hawes, from Stalham, said she “made our world a better place with her vibrant spirit and brightened our lives with her laughter and quirky sense of humour”.
