A marchioness is to stand trial accused of dangerous driving after a crash involving four vehicles.
Lady Susan Zetland, 76, of Aske Hall, near Richmond, North Yorkshire, was charged following the crash in July.
The crash on the A66 at Melsonby crossroads involved her Subaru Outback 4x4, two HGVs and another car
Lady Zetland appeared at Teesside Crown Court to deny the charge and was told she would stand trial at later date before being released on bail.
She was accompanied to court by her husband, Lawrence Mark Dundas, the 4th Marquess of Zetland.
Aske Hall is the ancestral home of the Marquess of Zetland
Aske Hall was first mentioned in the Domesday Book, according to the hall's website, but was developed over the centuries by a number of owners.
It was bought in 1763 by Sir Lawrence Dundas, 1st Baronet, for £45,000.
The Grade I listed Georgian country house is occasionally open to the public for guided tours.
