Man to face trial over motorcylist death
GoogleA man has denied causing the death of a motorcyclist in a crash near Skegness by dangerous driving.
It follows an investigation into a collision between a car and a motorcycle on the A52 at Croft Bank on Saturday 21 December 2024, which led to the death of Clayton Skyes, 23, from Skegness.
Robbie Beeson, 20, of Queen's Estate, Wainfleet St Mary, admitted causing Mr Sykes' death by careless driving when he appeared at Lincoln Crown Court earlier but pleaded not guilty to the more serious charge of causing death by dangerous driving.
Judge Catarina Sjolin-Knight adjourned the case for a trial beginning on 2 November.
Sjolin-Knight told Beeson: "The Crown do not accept your plea to the charge of causing death by careless driving so there will have to be a trial on the main charge."
The trial is expected to last four days.
Beeson was granted unconditional bail and will next appear at Lincoln Crown Court for a pre-trial hearing on 4 September.
