Adam Jones death: Man in court over Wednesbury schoolboy tragedy
A man has appeared before magistrates over the death of teenager Adam Jones who died after being hit by a car in West Bromwich.
Unemployed Tyrone Sadler, aged 25, from the Oval, Smethwick, made his first appearance at Sandwell Magistrates' Court today.
He is charged with causing death by driving a vehicle while unlicensed and causing death by driving a vehicle while uninsured.
Sadler pleaded not guilty to both charges.
The case was adjourned and Sadler was granted unconditional bail to appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court on September 21.
Friends and family of Adam Jones gathered at the court for the hearing.
Adam, aged 15, from Wednesbury, was hit as he crossed the junction of Beacon View Road and Walsall Road in West Bromwich with his bike, just after 7.30pm on March 26 last year.
The schoolboy was a huge football fan and investigation was supported by West Bromwich Albion.
