Sophia Naismith, 15, died when the Lamborghini Huracan mounted a kerb and struck her and a friend walking on a footpath, before crashing into the door of a restaurant in June 2019.

In the District Court on Thursday, Judge Paul Muscat acquitted Alexander Campbell of the charge after a trial by judge alone.

Campbell had previously pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of driving without due care and will be sentenced on that charge at a later date.
