A lorry driver has avoided jail after colliding with and killing a mum-of-four who was trapped in her car which had broken down on the motorway.
John Bowers, 35, was driving a skip lorry on the M60 anticlockwise carriageway when he failed to spot a Kia Ceed was stationary with its hazard lights flashing on the hatch marked area separating lane one of the motorway from the slip road at junction 20.
Shirley-Ann Dumbuya, aged 38, was unable to move her car and was essentially ‘trapped’ inside, and had been advised by insurance company Green Flag that they could not go out to assist unless she was on the hard shoulder.
After a few minutes, Bowers, of Preston, collided with the Kia. Emergency services arrived a short time later and Mrs Dumbuya was cut from her vehicle, but despite the efforts of medical staff, she was sadly declared dead at the scene.
