Tragic news as the trial begins for a driver accused of causing the death of baby Sophia Kelemen. Sophia, from Greater Manchester, was on holiday with her family in Tenby when her pram was tragically hit by a car in a multi-storey car park. Despite being airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, the six-month-old could not be saved.
The accused, Flaviu Naghi, faces charges of causing death by dangerous driving and an alternative charge of causing death by careless driving while under the influence of cocaine metabolite. He denies both charges. The jury has been sworn in at Swansea Crown Court, where the trial will be presided over by Judge Catherine Richards.
