Tragic M27 Pile-Up Claims Life of Beloved Salisbury Man

Fatal Crash Rocks M27

A deadly multi-vehicle collision on the M27 last week has shattered a family and a community. Michal Kaminski, 36, from Salisbury, Wiltshire, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash near junction 5 at around 12:30 pm on Wednesday, February 21.

The horrific pile-up involved a Mercedes lorry, Nissan Juke, and Volkswagen Polo. Emergency services rushed to the scene, but Michal’s life could not be saved.

Family Heartbreak and Tributes

Michal’s family described him as a “loving” man and paid a moving tribute:

“In loving memory of Michal Kaminski, who died in a tragic crash on the M27 on February 21, 2024. You will always be in our hearts, and we will always remember you smiling. Loving family and friends.”

His employer, Salesmark, has also expressed deep sorrow over the loss of their valued team member.

Investigation Underway; Suspects Charged

Police have charged three people with dangerous driving over the crash. All have been released on bail while investigations continue.

Community Rallies to Support Family

The tragedy has sparked an outpouring of local support. A fundraising campaign has raised more than £8,500—well over the original £5,000 target. Donations are still open at JustGiving to help secure a future for Michal’s brother Rafal.

As loved ones mourn, tributes keep Michal’s memory alive, underscoring the deep void left by this heartbreaking loss.
