Luke Flanagan, 28, was driving his Ford Transit van along the westbound carriageway of the A421 near Renhold just before 8am on 1 November 2021, when he struck a Peugeot 2008 which had slowed down and stopped due to stationary traffic ahead.
Failing to see that the Peugeot had stopped, Flanigan hit the vehicle with such force that it was pushed underneath the HGV that had stopped in front of it, before bursting into flames.
