John Bell, 74, was hit by the Maserati Quattraporte - which was allegedly stolen - at the property on Forthill Road in Broughty Ferry at about 13:00 on Monday.
The driver, 55-year-old Fraser Garden, was taken to hospital for treatment and released before being charged over the collision.
Garden faces a total of nine charges including causing death by dangerous driving. He is accused of stealing the car before losing control of the vehicle, entering a garden at speed and trapping Bell against a house.
He is also accused of failing to stop to give his name and address, refusing a blood test and failing to report the collision.
Garden appeared in court on Tuesday, made no plea and was remanded in custody.
At least he was remanded. In the Met , he'd probably be freed on bail.
"allegedly stolen" - that seems odd.

ReplyDeleteSo a Garden enters a garden - sounds like something out of a Leslie Nielsen plot...
ReplyDeleteThe registered keeper had two choices. Either the keeper admits the driver had his permission, so he is in trouble for permitting the car to be driven without insurance, or the keeper says the vehicle was taken without owners consent, which makes things even worse for the driver. Either way somebody is getting 6 points for that.
