Matthew Cobden appeared in court in connection with the crash which killed Alexander Worth
Matthew Cobden, 38, of Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, appeared at Winchester Crown Court in connection with the crash which killed Alexander Worth.
The collision happened after Cobden had been unloading the Ferrari F50 for a photoshoot for Evo supercar magazine in North Warnborough, Hampshire, on August 22 last year.
It is alleged that when Alexander, of Kings Worthy, near Winchester, asked if he could take a photograph of the car, Cobden offered to take him for a ride.
