Man charged with causing death of cyclist in Walsall street
A man has appeared in court accused of killing a cyclist at a pedestrian crossing.
Mandeep Singh appeared at Dudley Magistrates Court on Tuesday charged with causing death by dangerous driving while at the wheel of a VW Polo.
The incident dates back to July 13, 2021, when Doris Post - a recently retired foreign languages teacher at Queen Mary's High School - was killed on Lower Rushall Street, Walsall, close to the town's Morrisons store.
Paramedics from West Midlands Ambulance Service, as well as the air ambulance, were also to the scene after the collision.
At the time a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said staff "immediately began administering advanced life support" after finding the woman with serious injuries.
“However, despite their best efforts it sadly became apparent nothing could be done to save the woman and she was confirmed dead at the scene," he added.
Singh, 44, of New Chester Road in Bebington, on the Wirral, did not enter a plea at Dudley Magistrates Court.
He is due to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court next month.
