A 22-year-old woman has appeared before magistrates at Folkestone accused of causing the death of a miniature steam train driver by dangerous driving.

Marie Scrace, of Dengemarsh Road, Lydd, near Hythe, was charged by police earlier this month.

A Ford Escort driven by Ms Scrace was in collision with the train belonging to the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Light Railway on Sunday, August 3. Kevin Crouch, 31, of south east London, was killed.

The case was adjourned until Monday, December 15, for a plea and directions hearing at Maidstone Crown Court. Ms Scrace was released on unconditional bail.
