TWO men have pleaded not guilty to causing the death of a soldier by dangerous driving.
Callum Leach, 20, of Beacon Hill Road, Newark, and George Allen, 19, of Cludd Avenue, Newark, appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday.
The prosecution alleged the pair were racing along Beacon Hill Road before being involved in a crash which killed Craig Cooke, 25, of Tyneside.
The defendants also face an allegation of causing serious injury to a female by driving dangerously in Beacon Hill Road.
Leach and Allen will appear at Nottingham Crown Court on May 18 to face trial, which is set to last five days.
