A barrister has been charged with causing the death of an 84-year-old man by dangerous driving.

Hamish Hickey, 40, appeared at York Magistrates' Court earlier in connection with the death of Michael Lupton in the village of Ampleforth.

It was alleged that Mr Hickey was driving a Volvo XC40 when he struck Mr Lupton's vehicle on Thorpe Lane on 26 July 2022. Mr Lupton, who lived in Ampleforth, died in James Cook University Hospital on 14 August.

Mr Hickey, of St Hilda's Walk in Ampleforth, will next appear at York Crown Court on 21 October to enter a plea to the offence.

He specialises in family law, public and private law and financial remedy proceedings and belongs to the North Eastern Circuit.
