A woman has pleaded not guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent after a crash in Blackbird Leys.

Monica Thomas, of Salesian Gardens, Cowley, denied the offence yesterday in an hearing at Oxford Crown Court.

The 25-year-old had previously been charged with attempted murder but the Crown Prosecution Service decided to change the charge.

It has also dropped charges of affray faced by Vera McPherson, 50, of Greenfinch Close, and Litisha Baker, 26, of Blackbird Leys Road, in connection with the incident. Thomas is now on bail and due to go on trial on January 19 next year.
