Driver cleared over five-year-old's death after electric car moved on its own'

Minicab driver, Ashenafei Demissie, 53, was behind the wheel of a Volkswagen ID.4 when it suddenly accelerated forward, killing Fareed Amir and seriously injuring his son, on November 25 2022. During the weeklong trial at the Old Bailey, a prosecution crash expert told the court the collision occurred when Demissie had accidentally pressed the accelerator. However, Demissie maintained that the vehicle moved forward on its own, suggesting a possible software fault. After five hours of deliberation, the jury found him not guilty of causing death and serious injury by careless driving.
