Christian Marriott, known as Chris, had gone on a post-Christmas family walk with his wife and two sons, aged eight and six, when he reportedly saw a woman lying unconscious in the street on College Close in Burngreave just after 2pm last Wednesday.
It is believed the woman had been involved in an altercation between a group of people.
Chris left his family and stopped to provide first aid to the woman, before the car then collided with him, the woman and a number of others.
Hassan Jhangur, of Whiteways Road, Sheffield appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on Tuesday morning charged with murder and five counts of attempted murder.
No pleas were entered but Jhangur's barrister, Richard Davies, said the preliminary indication was that he would plead not guilty.
The people named in the attempted murder charges are Hasan Khan, Alison Norris, Ambreen Jhangur, Nafeesa Jhangur and Riasat Khan.
Ms Norris is a midwife who also went to help the woman at the scene.
Jhangur appeared via video-link and spoke only to confirm his name and that he understood what the judge told him.
Judge Graham Reeds KC remanded Jhangur in custody at the end of the 10-minute hearing and told him his trial will begin on July 15, with a time estimate of four weeks.
The defendant was told he will next appear in court for a plea and case management hearing on March 25.
