Woman to face trial over death in collision of Darron Coster, who gave first aid at scene of bombing.
A woman has pleaded not guilty to causing the death of a Manchester Arena terror attack "hero" by dangerous driving.
Darron Coster, 54, had been waiting to collect his son at the venue but ran in to help after a bomb was detonated during a concert in 2017. He was killed in a head-on crash with a car in Wigglesworth, North Yorkshire, while riding his motorbike on 14 July 2021. Jacqueline Higson, 65, of Chatburn, Lancashire, denied the charge at Bradford Crown Court on Friday, and is now set to face a trial scheduled for 14 April 2025.
However, John Dye, defending Ms Higson, said she may admit the lesser offence of causing death by careless driving.Mr Coster, from Accrington, Lancashire, was a Royal Military Police veteran and used his training to treat casualties at the Manchester Arena bombing.Mr Coster had served in Northern Ireland, where he gained experience of blast injuries, and was able to apply tourniquets to victims.
