Regan Lee Da Wen, 26, was accused of causing the death of 22-year-old He Xueli, by driving a Mazda MX-5 convertible dangerously during a test drive in October 2005.
Lee was said to have lost control of the car along Upper Paya Lebar Road, causing it to go over the road divider.
The car crashed head-on into a BMW, before flipping and smashing into a van.
Lee was unhurt but the agent sitting beside him died in hospital later.
Five people in the black BMW were taken to hospital for breathing difficulties and chest pains, and a couple in the van escaped unscathed.
Lee, who will appear in court on June 18 for a pre-trial conference, faces a maximum five-year jail term if found guilty.
He is out on a S$10,000 bail.
Other than the criminal charge, Lee is also facing civil proceedings, brought against him by other parties in the accident. - CNA/ms Served him right,with this kind of drivers on Singapore Roads,we are better off without him... And still came to various forums that he is still looking for cars that are faster. Hope he get disqualified from driving until he is six feet under...
