A DRIVER accused of killing a student in a hit-and-run crash in East Barnet last summer has entered a plea of not guilty.

Ayeris Angelis, 26, of Tewkesbury Terrace, New Southgate, appeared at Wood Green Crown Court on Thursday over the death of Lizzie Beach-MacGeagh on the evening of June 16, 2010.

The 20-year-old Bristol University student died of head injuries after being hit by a car as she jogged in Netherlands Road at the junction with Temple Avenue.

Mr Angelis' plea means a trial will begin at Wood Green Crown Court on June 13.
