Lorry driver denies causing death of man in crash

A lorry driver has pleaded not guilty to causing the death of a football coach in a crash on the M20.

Arran McManus, 36, was killed when two lorries and a Nissan Qashqai crashed near Lenham, Kent, on 25 November.

Zvonko Tomisa, 58, who was driving one of the lorries, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving.

He entered his plea on Tuesday and is due to stand trial at Maidstone Crown Court on 18 May.

McManus, who coached at Kennington Football Club, died at the scene of the crash, according to Kent Police.

Tomisa was treated at hospital for injuries before being discharged, they added.

A GoFundMe page set up by Kennington Juniors following McManus' death has raised more than £16,000.

Tomisa was remanded in custody.
