    A father charged with manslaughter after his six-year-old son died in a fiery crash near Rangiora can now be named


    Lachlan Gebhardt died at the scene - after the car his father Niklas Gebhardt was allegedly driving, crashed at the bend of Lehmans Road in November

    The 30-year-old was rushed to hospital in a critical condition - and treated for burns at Auckland's Middlemore Hospital

    He's pleaded not guilty to a charge of dangerous driving causing death.

    Gebhardt, a football player who represented Canterbury United, initially had name suppression - but it's now lapsed.

    He'll next appear in court in September - with his trial set down for next July.
