It is claimed Semple failed to maintain proper observations and did not give way.
The charge goes on to say Semple drove into the path of Mr McNally who was driving a motorcycle.
Allegations state there was a collision between both vehicles and Mr McNally was thrown from the motorcycle.
The charge says that Mr Semple was so severely injured that he died at Glasgow Royal Infirmary four days later.
