The court heard that on February 5, he drove motor pick up GMM 4626 in a manner dangerous to the public causing the death of 37 – year – old Lavena Williams-Tull, of Lot 180 Linden Drive, Melanie Damishana.
The prosecutor argued that bail for the offense of causing death by dangerous driving should not be granted owing to several factors. He made reference to the speed the vehicle was going, the distance the victim was flung and the distance the vehicle came to a halt after the accident.
At the time of her death, Williams – Tull was awaiting transportation to travel home after work.
