A Sydney man charged over a crash at Williamtown last year which claimed the life of his 7-year-old nephew has been ordered to stand trial.
It's alleged Robert Shashati was under the influence of drugs when he lost control of his 4-wheel drive on Medowie Road and crashed into a ditch on January 21 2015.
Shashati's 7-year-old nephew was one of 4 boys in the car at the time of the crash.
Newcastle Local Court heard the 37-year-old was angry because they were running late to go quad-bike riding, so allegedly decided to speed on the wrong side of the road to overtake traffic.
