Man accused of crash that killed his friends

A MAN accused of causing the death of two of his friends in a car crash at Loxhore Cross in June last year has appeared in court.

Jason Mark Huxtable, 22, of Parsonage Farm, Bratton Fleming, entered no plea to four charges when he appeared at North Devon Magistrates' Court on Friday.

Huxtable, who wore a dark suit, blue shirt and striped tie, stood emotionless in the dock as his case was committed to the crown court.
