He pleaded not guilty and would reappear on January 8, 2008.
Prosecuting, Superintendent Cyril Ackom, told the court, presided over by Mr Richard Asiedu-Badu, that on October 29, 2005, at about 0400 hours Dankwa, who was driving an articulated truck from Tarkwa towards Accra, drove carelessly and knocked down one Mr Kwesi Bukari a 72 year-old man at Biriwa.
