A TRIAL into an alleged death crash that killed a woman has been delayed because of a lack of court staff.
Arif Hussain appeared for his trial at Oxford Crown Court yesterday.
The 35-year-old of London Road, Camberley denies one count of causing death by careless driving.

Prosecutors allege that while driving 'without due care and attention' he caused the death of Mary Holt.
The incident is said to have taken place in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire on May 10 last year.
Yesterday, on what was supposed to be the first day of the trial, the case was adjourned until next year.
Presiding Judge Maria Lamb apologised for the delay.
She said the reason the trial was not able to go ahead was because 'we don't have a sufficient number of staff available.'
A new trial date was pencilled in to be heard at the same court on May 10 next year.
Hussain was released on bail in the meantime.
