Jason Rae, 53, allegedly struck the woman in Glasgow’s Merchant City on June 10, 2023.
Court papers state Rae drove without due care and attention on Bell Street.
It is claimed that Rae failed to maintain a proper lookout and caused his vehicle to strike her on the body.

Rae faces a further charge of failing to stop to give his name and address after the incident.
The woman was taken to hospital where her condition was described as “critical” at the time.
Rae pleaded not guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court and a trial has been set for August this year.
A pre-trial hearing was also fixed for July.
