Nadine Foster: Man denies causing death of teenage mum
A man has denied causing the death of a teenage mother through dangerous driving in an early hours crash.
Nadine Foster, aged 18, was a passenger in a Ford Focus when it crashed into a wall on Hagley Road, Oldswinford, Stourbridge, on April 16 last year at around 2.20am. She was taken to hospital but died a few days later.
Joseph Chance, aged 24, from Murcroft Road, Stourbridge, appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court yesterday where he pleaded not guilty to causing her death by driving a Renault Clio dangerously.
He also pleaded not guilty to causing death by dangerous driving while uninsured and unlicensed.
The defendant did admit dangerous driving and having neither insurance nor licence but was remanded on bail to stand trial on the death by dangerous driving charge later in the year.
The case is currently due to be tried at Wolverhampton Crown Court in October but will be moved to an earlier date if one becomes available.
A statement released by the family at the time said: "We are devastated to have lost our beautiful Nadine. She was a loving mother, daughter and grand-daughter. She was a happy, smiley girl and the light of our lives. Nadine will be missed every day; her loss has left a void that will never be filled."
