Man, 65, to face trial following death of pedal cyclist in Skegness
A 65-year-old Skegness man has appeared in court following the death of a pedal cyclist following a road collision in Skegness in August last year.
Vincent Lee Sharp of Lancaster Avenue entered a not guilty plea to the allegation that he caused the death of Wilfred Meakin by careless driving in Grand Parade.
Prosecuting, Y Hue said the collision took place on August 3 and Mr Meakin died in hospital three days later on August 6.
Despite a request from the prosecution, which was not opposed by the defence, the magistrates refused to send the case to the crown court for trial but Mr Sharp selected a crown court trial himself, as is his right.
The case was adjourned until June 7 at Lincoln Crown Court and Mr Sharp was granted unconditional bail.
