A driver accused of killing an 84-year-old pedestrian in a Lyneham crash has pleaded not guilty.
Jennifer June Hutchison appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday morning, charged with negligent driving occasioning death.
The woman, who was 61 at the time in question, allegedly struck the elderly victim on a crossing near the intersection of Brigalow and Hall streets on June 18.
Paramedics raced the 84-year-old man to Canberra Hospital for emergency treatment, but he died six days later.

Negligent driving occasioning death carries a maximum jail term of two years upon conviction.
