A man has gone on trial after denying two charges of causing death by dangerous driving in a collision on the A47 Acle Straight.
Simon Nortcliffe, 53, of Whitchurch, Shropshire, has been charged with driving his Fiat Ducato van dangerously on the A47 New Road, near Mautby, on March 2, 2020, causing the death of Mary Matthews, 76, and Myra Green, 78, who were driving in the opposite direction in a pink Nissan Micra.
A jury was sworn in at Norwich Crown Court and the case will be opened on Thursday.
