Walpole Highway man Thomas Peggs faces trial next year after Gorefield crash which killed Grace Robinson from Wisbech St Mary

A 31-year-old will stand trial next year after pleading not guilty to causing death by dangerous driving.

Thomas Peggs, of Mill Road, Walpole Highway, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court on Friday, March 8 where he denied the offence after a fatal collision in Gorefield last year in which a young female passenger died.

He also denied causing serious injury by dangerous driving in the crash.

20-year-old Grace Robinson, from Wisbech St Mary, died and her friend, an 18-year-old woman from the Wisbech area, received serious injuries.

A trial date has been set for March 31, 2025. A pre-trial hearing will take place on March 17, 2025.

Emergency services were called just after 5pm on Friday, February 3 last year to reports of a crash involving a Jaguar XKR with three occupants.

Last year, her family paid tribute to her and said: “Precious daughter, beautiful, young, loved by everyone. Lit up every room with her smile, her boundless energy and love of life will stay with us all forever, words fail us.”
