A MAN accused of causing the death of a dad-of-two by dangerous driving in Knutsford has pleaded not guilty. 

Gordon Hyland, 49, of Bexton Lane, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Wednesday, facing the charge of causing death by dangerous driving. 

The charge relates to a fatal crash outside The Cottons Hotel in Manchester Road on March 28 last year, which claimed the life of 29-year-old St Helens man Ian Glanister. 

Hyland entered a not guilty plea and a trial has been fixed for November this year.
