Man denies he was racing with his brother before fatal Welshpool crash, jury told

A Mold Crown Court jury heard Abubakr Ben Yusaf deny racing his brother moments before the fatal crash on the A483 near Welshpool in November 2024. Rhys Jenkins, a father of two, died at the scene; his nine-year-old son Ioan was airlifted to Liverpool. Abubakr Ben Yusaf, 31, and Umar Ben Yusaf, 35, deny causing death by dangerous driving and uninsured driving. They said they were returning to Manchester after leaving Aberystwyth and that dashcam footage did not show dangerous maneuvers. Witness Morgan Henry testified that Abubakr's driving showed impatience and overtaking; the prosecution argued unsafe overtaking, while the defense blamed road conditions and traction loss. The case continues as jurors weigh responsibility.
