Pensioner, 76, in court over Shropshire A458 death crash
A pensioner has appeared in court charged with causing a crash in which another driver died on a busy road between Shrewsbury and Much Wenlock.
The accident happened on January 4 on the A458 between Cressage and Cound.
John William Beckett, aged 76, of Greyfriars Drive, Bromsgrove, was driving the Land Rover.
He faced a charge of causing death by driving without due care and attention when he appeared before Telford Magistrates Court yesterday.
He did not enter a plea and the case was sent to Shrewsbury Crown Court where he will next appear on October 2. Beckett was released on unconditional bail until the hearing.
