A Sunshine Coast business owner who was charged over the death of another man in a car crash has appeared in court again.

Palmwoods man Colin Roy Pearce, 61, appeared in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday, February 12 after he was charged in December last year with driving without due care and attention causing death.

Mr King said the plea would take about one hour.

The man died later in the year, a court was previously told, and Mr Pearce was charged in relation to the incident on December 30 last year.

Documents stated Mr Pearce was a business owner.

Magistrate Rod Madsen adjourned the matter to April 2 for a lengthy plea.
