The defendant says Miss Williams shoved his arm as they travelled along School Lane, which caused the car to jolt to the left.
The jury had still not come to a conclusion during their discussions at Warrington Crown Court on Thursday (May 26). At the end of a day a juror was discharged from service as they are due to go on holiday, reducing the panel to 11.
