A teenager who's pleaded guilty to three charges relating to a fatal car crash will be sentenced in September.

19-year-old Andrew Reeday, from Colby, appeared at Douglas Courthouse yesterday - he's charged with allowing another man to drive his car with no insurance or licence.

The offences relate to a crash on the Switchback Road in March - he's also charged with wasting 40 hours of police time following the incident.

The court heard how a summary of facts has now been agreed.

Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes warned Reeday that all options for sentencing remain open. He'll appear in court again on Thursday, September 4th.
