Man appears in court on charges linked to fatal collision between Harrogate and Pateley Bridge
A man is set to go on trial later this year charged with offences linked to the death of a teenage pedestrian in a road traffic collision on a major road between between Pateley Bridge and Glasshouses.
Joseph Stott, 25, of Dairy Lane in Darley, appeared at Harrogate Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (February 12).
He pleaded not guilty to charges of driving a motor vehicle when over the prescribed limit, failing to stop after a road traffic collision and failing to report a road traffic collision.
The defendant confirmed his name, age and address before the court clerk read out the charges in a packed courtroom.
District Judge Mark Daley adjourned the case for a trial at the same court which will start on May 28 and is expected to last two days.
Mr Stott was released on unconditional bail until then.
Bailey Chadwick, 19, died in a collision on the B6265 at Lupton Bank, s, in the early hours of July 20 last year.
