A Ballaugh man who has been accused of causing the death of his daughter has been committed to stand trial at the Court of General Gaol.

It follows a crash between his BMW and a bus close to the Ballakaighan Corner near to Castletown on October 5th last year.

His 10-year-old daughter Alexis was killed in the collision - another man was also injured.

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