A TAXI driver faces a trial after allegedly hitting a pensioner with his car.

Taj Ali, of Heathergrove Fold in Dalton, will be tried by Huddersfield magistrates. The court heard yesterday that the elderly woman suffered a broken hip bone when she was allegedly hit by Ali’s cab near the taxi rank at St George’s Square in Huddersfield. The 56-year-old driver had a passenger in the car at the time of the incident. He denies the charge of driving without due care and attention. Ali will next appear before the court for his trial on January 20.
