Berzsenyi is also charged with - and denies - perverting the course of justice by conspiring with another to make a false report to the police that the car had been stolen prior to the crash.

And he has also pleaded not guilty to driving the vehicle without insurance and failing to stop after a road traffic collision.

He was remanded in custody pending the start of his trial whose date is fixed for November 15.
