ONE of the drivers involved in the Bath tipper truck tragedy has failed to get the charges against him dropped today.
Philip John Potter, 19, of Little Middle Green Farm, Dauntsey, appeared at Bristol Crown Court today where a judge dismissed the application.
Potter is charged with causing the death of Mitzi Steady, from Weston, in Lansdown Lane on February 9, last year and further counts of the same charge in connection with the deaths of Swansea men Stephen Vaughan, 34, and Philip Allen, 52, as well as 59-year-old Robert Parker from Cwmbran.
All three died when the car they were in was crushed by the truck driven by Potter.
Potter is also charged with injuring two others in the tragedy.
