Two men have denied causing death by dangerous driving after they were involved in a crash which killed a teenage girl in Oldham.

Alisha Goup, 16, died after two cars crashed on Rochdale Road on February 23. She was a pedestrian.

Emergency services were called at around 1.30pm following the crash near the Royal Oldham Hospital.

Despite the best efforts of paramedics, Alisha, from Royton, died at the scene.

The drivers of the two cars Omar Choudhury, 21, of Broadway, Royton and Hamidur Rahman, 23, of Tilbury Street, Oldham were both charged with causing death by dangerous driving last month.

Appearing before Manchester Minshull Street Court today (Monday) both men pleaded not guilty to causing death by dangerous driving in connection to the incident.

Judge Maurice Greene set a provisional trial date for August 7. The trial is expected to last five to six days.

An emotional vigil was held for Alisha last month.

On Sunday March 12, around 150 people were at Coldhurst Community Park on Rochdale Road, next to the scene where Alisha died to remember her.

Alisha's family attended and people paid tributes, before balloons were released and flowers were laid where she died.

A man who introduced himself as a friend of Alisha's brother told the crowd: "I can't put into words how difficult and devastating it has been for the family."

Other organisers described Alisha as a dedicated student and praised the community for coming together and paying tribute to her.
