91-year-old man sent to Crown Court on death by dangerous driving charge

A 91-year-old man has appeared in court charged with causing the death of an elderly pedestrian by dangerous driving.

Peter Burrow was granted unconditional bail after an appearance at Kidderminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.

The court heard Burrow is accused of causing the death of a woman in her 80s while driving a Fiat 500 dangerously in Church Street, Malvern, Worcestershire, on August 8 last year.

Police have previously said the vehicle collided with six pedestrians on the pavement on Church Street shortly after midday.

The woman was taken to hospital but died from her injuries, while two other people were admitted to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Burrow was not asked to enter any plea to the offence, and the judge transferred the case to Worcester Crown Court for the 24th June.
