The father of a 10-year-old schoolgirl killed in a car crash 17 months ago has denied causing her death.
Forty-five-year-old Raymond French of Ballaugh has this afternoon pleaded not guilty to charges of manslaughter and causing death by dangerous driving.
He also denies causing serious bodily harm to a man, Donald Richard Faragher, by dangerous driving.
Mr Faragher was the driver of the bus involved in the head-on crash near Castletown in October 2013 which killed the defendant's daughter, Alexis.
The case has been adjourned until April 20 for a pre-trial review.
Mr French has had his bail renewed until that date.
