Sneezing LGV driver cleared of death charge

12 April 2007

A truck driver who said a sneeze distracted him just before a crash that killed three members of the same family has been fined £2,000 by Lincoln Crown Court.

Neil Margerison, 23, from Clayton-le-Dale in Lancashire, was found guilty of careless driving but cleared of causing death by dangerous driving.

Flight Lieutenant Neville Rees, his wife Karen and son Andrew, 11, were killed when their car was crushed between two trucks near their home at RAF Cranwell, Lincolnshire, on 5 January  last year.

Margerison was also disqualified from driving for three years.
