The case against a man accused of killing two-week-old Ciaran Leigh Morris was being summed up last night at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
James Paul Davis, 35 and from Croxtalls Avenue, Bloxwich, is accused of killing the newborn in Brownhills on Easter Sunday last year.
He faces three charges: causing death by dangerous driving, causing death while uninsured and causing death by careless driving. He denies all charges
Following the summing up of the case, the jury could be sent out today to decide on a verdict.
The court has heard how Davis's BMW hit another car in Brownhills High Street on April 4 last year before crashing onto the pavement and into the pram carrying baby Ciaran, who was being walked by his parents.
The 18-day-old boy suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead in hospital a short time later.
Jurors also saw footage and heard from witnesses who reported Davis running from the scene in the aftermath of the crash.
