A jury has begun its deliberations over whether a young Falmouth man whose car crashed killing a teenage girl is guilty of causing her death by dangerous driving.

Sophie Taylor was 16 in January last year when she died in the rear passenger seat of a black Volkswagen Golf driven by Coree Lee Ammon, 19, of Longfield in Falmouth.

Following two and a half days of evidence, Judge Simon Carr summed up the case this afternoon, before the jury was sent out to begin its deliberations.

The Packet has previously reported evidence from the first day, here, and from the second day, here.

Ammon denies causing death by dangerous driving, but has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of causing death by careless driving.

The jury was recalled just after 4pm, but having yet to reach a verdict, was dismissed until tomorrow morning.

The trial continues.
