A 20-year-old Lindener was placed on 0,000 bail when he appeared at the Linden Magistrate’s Court to answer to a charge of causing death by dangerous driving.

Deceased:  Michael Fox
Deceased: Michael Fox

Cleon Nicholas, of Lot 1568 Central Amelia’s Ward, Mackenzie, Linden, appeared before Magistrate Clive Nurse. The prosecution is contending that on June 3, Nicholas drove the motor car bearing licence plate number PTT 2372 along the Amelia’s Ward Public Road in a manner dangerous to the public, thereby causing the death of Michael Fox.

Nicholas has, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge. Fox was killed when the unregistered CBR motorcycle he was riding at the time slammed into the right end of the car’s trunk.
