BY JESSICA ROUSE

The man who stands accused of causing the death of a 65-year-old woman in a crash at Mayfield in July has faced Newcastle Court for the first time.

Andrew Wayne is accused of allegedly running a red light on Industrial Drive in his Ford Territory and as a result slamming into a Holden Astra turning right onto Tourle Street killing Gweneth Downey.

He didn't enter any pleas and remains on bail with the condition of not getting behind the wheel of a car.

The matter returns to court next Wednesday.
