A WIDNES motorist has appeared in court accused of causing a cyclist’s death by careless driving.
Raymond Price, 40, of The Caravan Park on Tanhouse Lane, Widnes, made his first appearance at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday, January 5.
Price is accused of causing the death of Mark Robinson by driving a Mazda carelessly on Robin Park Road in Wigan on May 14 last year.
The 34-year-old victim, who was engaged to be married, died later in hospital following the collision when he used a pedestrian crossing near Wigan police station.
Judge Clement Goldstone, QC, the Recorder Of Liverpool, was told by defence lawyer Martyn Walsh that Price would be denying the offence but this did not take place as a copy of the indictment was unavailable.
He was further remanded on bail until Monday, April 11, to enter his plea and a date for his three day trial was fixed to begin on Monday, June 13.
