 A 61-year-old dearwood man charged with running over an 85-year-old woman last June appeared in Ithaca in, excuse me, Aiken County Court today. Timothy Paul Coastal is charged with a misdemeanor for careless driving. Margaret Ann Johnson was fatally struck by a vehicle near her mailbox just east of Aiken on Highway 47 on June 10th of last year. Coastal pleaded not guilty today. Many of Johnson's family and friends were at the arraignment hoping to get some closure. I think personally it's not hard to hard to see them. You know it's my mom would be here and she's not here and it's a it's a process for us a closure part and we think that the charges are light. Coastal's pretrial hearing is set for October 10th.
