Dudley man jailed for killing Wigan lorry driver in M6 crash

A man has been jailed after he admitted killing a lorry driver in a crash on the M6 in Staffordshire.

Cliff Tamou, from Wigan, got out of his HGV after it broke down between junctions 15 and 16, near Stoke-on-Trent, on 27 February.

He died when a car, a Toyota Avensis, driven by 22-year-old Ghulam Haider, crashed into the lorry shortly before 22:00 GMT that night.

Haider, of North Street, Dudley, was jailed for nine years and four months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Friday after pleading guilty last month to causing death by dangerous driving.
