Mr Simpkins, 23, a father-of-one from Cwmavon, died in the early hours of the morning, following a collision at around 12.40am on Sunday, February 12, 2012, near the Village Hotel.

The road was closed in both directions from the junction of Port Tennant Road and the junction at Pentreguinea Road for more than 12 hours.

A total of 19 witnesses are expected to give evidence at the trial, which barristers John Hipkin and Ian Wright told the court is expected to last between eight and ten days .

Judge Peter Heywood recommended that Judge Keith Thomas be the judge in the trial and a date for the first day was set for August 5.

Judge Heywood gave Smith conditional bail to live and sleep each night at the Neath address he gave the court.
