Man denies causing death crash and driving at 194mph

A man is to go on trial accused of driving at nearly 200mph before a passenger in his car died in a later crash.

Josh Buchan, 25, is alleged to have caused the death of Ben Taylor, 19, after losing control of his Audi RS3 on the B9077 in Aberdeen on 25 September 2022.

He faces a further allegation of driving at speeds of up to 194mph on various occasions between 12 June and 20 September in 2022, including in Anderson Drive in Aberdeen.

Mr Buchan denied the offences at the High Court in Glasgow, and a trial was set for the High Court in Aberdeen in March next year.
