A man charged over the death of a woman in a crash just north of Narooma has had a polite confrontation with a reporter outside court.

Robert Solerno from South Australia appeared in Batemans Bay Local Court yesterday on the first day of his hearing over the incident on the Princes Highway on December 20, 2022.

He’d earlier plead not guilty to negligent driving occasioning death, grievous bodily harm and causing bodily harm by misconduct of a vehicle.

When walking up to the court building, he approached The Daily Telegraph reporter Tom McGann who was filming him and stated “Those photos you used last time could have been nicer,” he said.

“It was not very nice. You don’t have permission . Really? I don’t give you permission to use.”

The hearing continues today.
