Switchback teenager committed to stand trial

A teenager who is charged with causing death by dangerous driving will stand trial at the Court of General Gaol Delivery.

18-year-old Peel man Craig Bridgewater appeared at Douglas Courthouse for committal this morning.

It’s alleged that he was driving a Ford Fiesta which crashed on the Switchback Road in March resulting in the death of a 14-year old girl.

He’s also charged with having no driving licence or insurance.

The case has now been adjourned to a date to be fixed. Mr Bridgewater has been bailed.
