A young woman has been charged with causing the death by dangerous driving of a cyclist killed in Hackney more than a year-and-a-half ago.
Tiffany Treanor-Johnson, 26, of Bramshaw Road, Hackney, had already been charged with causing injury and failing to stop after an alleged collision with Harry Webb, a 27-year-old music student.
She was charged with the more serious charge of causing death by dangerous driving on March 13.
She reappeared at Thames magistrates court on March 17, when prosecutor Emma Eatwell asked for the case to be adjourned until April 17.
Ms Eatwell said it was not possible to consider the death by dangerous driving charge on March 17 as an application for legal aid had not been processed.
In addition, Treanor-Johnson’s defence solicitor Ahmet Ratip requested an adjournment to enable him to obtain and study a copy of a neurologist’s report made at the request of the Metropolitan police.
Mr Ratip told the magistrates: “It’s been a long court case.”
Treanor-Johnson was granted unconditional bail.
Mr Webb, who was studying music at the London College of Contemporary Music, died in hospital two days after sustaining catastrophic injuries when he was hit by a car in Kenworthy Road at about 7.40pm on September 10, 2023.
Treanor-Johnson was arrested near the scene on the day of incident.
She is also accused of colliding with another vehicle, a Red Citroen C3 car, in the same road.
Treanor-Johnson first appeared in court in April 2024, and again in July. There was a further procedural hearing in February 2025.
Mr Webb had been on his way to London Fields Lido for an evening swim when the collision occurred.
Campaigners have repeatedly called for action from Transport for London after previous road collisions and near-misses on Kenworthy Road, which links Homerton and the A12.
