A man charged with dangerous driving and failing to stop after a young boy was killed on the M62 is due to stand trial.

Callum Rycroft, 12, was hit by a car while attempting to run across the motorway at night while following his father Matthew, who had drunkenly crashed the car they were in and attempted to flee the scene on foot.

Matthew Rycroft was jailed for 10 years last November for the manslaughter of his son.
