Man remanded in tandem death crash case 30 January 2013 Last updated at 11:41 A man has appeared in court charged with causing the deaths of a married couple who were knocked off their tandem bicycle near Bristol. Nicholas Lovell, 38, was arrested following the deaths of Ross and Clare Simons in Hanham on Sunday. The car allegedly involved in the crash was being followed by police. Mr Lovell, from Oldland Common, was remanded in custody by North Avon magistrates charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving. Mr Lovell, of West Street, has also been charged with driving while disqualified, driving with no insurance and failing to stop at the scene of a collision. Kathryn Jones, prosecuting, told the court: "The incident on the 27th resulted unfortunately in the fatalities of the two individuals that have been named. There is no bail application. The crown seeks remand in custody. Mr Lovell confirmed his name and date of birth. No further details of the prosecution case against him were given in court. He will next appear at Bristol Crown Court on 21 February. The case has been referred by Avon and Somerset Constabulary to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
