Trevor Arthur Kelly, 52, of Banks, ACT did not enter a plea when he appeared in Goulburn Local Court on Wednesday, March 27.
Magistrate Geraldine Beattie said police alleged that Kelly was driving a prime mover in a dangerous manner on the Hume Highway at Gunning on July 19, 2023 when his vehicle impacted with a car, causing the death of a man.
The Department of Public Prosecutions (DPP) representative said two other charges - negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm and dangerous driving occasioning actual bodily harm - would be withdrawn.
A fourth charge - negligent driving occasioning death, first offence - is a back-up charge.
Magistrate Beattie said the matter had gone through the local court process, including a case conference.
She ordered that a telephone call-over be held on April 24 to ensure the case was ready for district court. A date would then be set for mention in that jurisdiction where Kelly would face the dangerous driving occasioning death charge.
