A woman suspected of drink-driving after a postman suffered serious injuries has pleaded not guilty to three offences.

Sheree Fogarty, of Millmead Road, is accused of driving while unfit through drink, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and failing to provide a specimen of breath for analysis.

The 43-year-old arrived at Margate Magistrates' Court today (August 9) to attend a case management hearing and will return to the same court on October 24.

Police were called to College Road, Margate, on January 6 after Vince Marsh, of Birchington, was hit by a car while out on his delivery rounds.

The 59-year-old was airlifted to King's College Hospital, London, with a head injury and a fractured eye socket.

He also suffered four broken ribs, bruising and cuts all over, as well as a broken leg and shattered knee cap.
