The son of a millionaire food manufacturer has appeared in court over the death of a girl nine years after a crash which left her severely disabled.
Cerys Edwards was 11 months old when Antonio Singh Boparan, then 19, crashed in Sutton Coldfield in November 2006.
A post-mortem examination found her death in October 2015 was "a result of the collision".
Mr Boparan, 31, appeared before magistrates in Birmingham charged with causing the death of Cerys.
She was left paralysed and brain damaged after the crash and needing round-the-clock care.
