A lorry driver has denied causing the death of a cyclist in Glasgow by careless driving.
George Donaldson, 60, allegedly collided with Ashley Lennon at the junction of Pollokshaws Road with Nithsdale Drive on May 22 2019.
Prosecutors state Donaldson was driving without due care or attention while behind the wheel of a large goods vehicle.
The charge alleges Donaldson failed to maintain proper observations and failed to see Miss Lennon who was on the inside lane of the carriageway.
It is further claimed Donaldson made a left-hand turn across the inside lane of the carriageway which caused the vehicle to hit Miss Lennon.
The charge finally states Miss Lennon was so severely injured that she later died.
Donaldson pled not guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to causing Miss Lennon's death by careless driving.
A trial for June next year was set by Sheriff Gerard Bonnar.
Donaldson, of the city’s Whiteinch, had his bail continued meantime.
