A lorry firm 'could have provided clearer information to postpone deliveries' after a driver died in a crash on the M74 during Storm Malik.
Bogdan Popa, 32, was killed when his lorry tipped on the motorway in Lanarkshire on January 29, 2022. Mr Popa had been driving north to deliver flatpack furniture when his vehicle was hit by a gust of wind of up to 49mph - causing it to overturn and collide with an oncoming Land Rover.The dad-of-one was tragically pronounced dead at the scene after suffering fatal head injuries.
