A coach driver has appeared in court charged with causing the deaths of three people by dangerous driving.
Philip Rooney, 48, of Carluke, Lanarkshire, was driving an Aberdeen-bound National Express vehicle when it crashed on an M25/M4 sliproad on January 3.
On Tuesday he appeared briefly before magistrates in Reading, who granted him unconditional bail and instructed him to appear at the Berkshire town's Crown Court on November 8 for a plea and directions hearing.
Two people died shortly after the crash and a third died earlier this month.
