A man facing trial in Norwich Crown Court is accused of intentionally driving his car into oncoming traffic with three children on board in an apparent suicide attempt. Tancredo Bankhardt is alleged to have orchestrated the collision on the A146 near Loddon, Norfolk, last year, with the prosecutor claiming that he made sure none of the occupants were wearing seatbelts. The incident resulted in a severe crash involving multiple vehicles, causing serious injuries but no fatalities. Bankhardt denies charges of attempted murder and causing serious injury by dangerous driving, maintaining that the collision was not intentional. The trial, expected to span two weeks, is ongoing as the defendant refutes the accusations brought against him.
