Man to stand trial accused of causing death of 49-year-old in Shrewsbury crash
A Herefordshire man has denied causing the death of a 49-year-old man in a crash on the A5 earlier this year by driving dangerously.
Matthew Tommey of Kop Close, Brimfield in Herefordshire is accused of causing the death of Edward Davies on Thursday, February 13 on the A5 in Felton Butler, Shrewsbury.
The 44-year-old spoke only to confirm his name and address when he appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court on Thursday and to make a plea of “not guilty” to the single charge.
Tommey is accused of driving his black Jaguar F-Pace dangerously before he struck the white Skoda Kamiq travelling in the same direction that was driven by Edward Davies on the eastbound carriageway of the Nesscliffe By-Pass
The crash happened during rush hour at around 5.40pm and led to the road being closed for some hours after the incident.
Mr Davies was declared dead at the scene.
Judge Trevor Meegan bailed Tommey ahead of his trial on February 18, 2028.
