A NEW Norfolk man will face trial next year over the road death of a schoolgirl in the Derwent Valley last February.
Bradley John Chaplin, 27, has pleaded not guilty to negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, speeding, and driving with an illegal drug in his system.
The charges were laid after the death of Glenora High School student Ashley Edmonds on February 29.
The 13-year-old was killed when she was hit by a utility after getting off a school bus on Gordon River Rd at Karanja.
The Hobart Magistrates Court today heard the case would take up to five days and involve a number of young witnesses.
Defence lawyer Chris Gunson said he was discussing with the prosecution ways to take evidence from those witnesses without causing additional trauma.
He said he had also sought a reconstruction of the crash from an accident expert and would be calling into question evidence of his client's reading for tetrahydrocannabinol -- the active ingredient in cannabis.
Magistrate Olivia McTaggart said she would conduct a visit to the scene of the crash as requested by the defence before a further mention of the case on February 26.
