Driver accused of causing death of Tyler Carley in lorry crash faces trial

A DRIVER is due to face trial next year charged with causing the death of a young Thornbury man.

Tyler Carley, aged 20, died when the scaffolding lorry he was a passenger in overturned on the A4174 Avon Ring Road near Mangotsfield in December 2023.

Michael Jon Ronner was later charged with causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving in connection with the incident.

Ronner, aged 38, of Warmley, appeared at Bristol Crown Court in late June, when a date for a trial was set for March next year.
