A lorry driver will stand trial next year following the death of a cyclist.

William Magee, 59, of Readers Court, Chelmsford, Essex, is facing an allegation of causing death by dangerous driving.

Barbara Phipps, from Lynsted, died after being involved in a crash with a Co-op lorry in London Road, Teynham on Saturday, February 13. She was 73.

Magee entered a not guilty plea to the allegation when he appeared at Maidstone Crown Court and a trial date was set for February 27.

Magee was granted bail until then.
