Driver who engaged in 'grotesque piece of driving' that killed two jailed for nine years
A driver has been jailed for more than nine years for killing two men when he drove the wrong way down a motorway slip road.
Earlier, the defendant had sat in the dock staring at the floor as Mr Afsar’s mother, Christine Peace, read out an emotional impact statement which left many of her family sobbing in the public gallery.Judge Hatton told Moxam: ‘The anguish occasioned to the family of these young men is immeasurable.’
Mr Smith said Moxam, from Barlborough, Derbyshire, got in his Vauxhall Insignia car and set off on an 18-mile trip westbound along the M62 and then around the Brighouse area.The prosecutor said his journey ended when he drove his car the wrong way up the off-slip to the motorway from the large Chain Bar roundabout and, after about 650 metres, collided with the Skoda.
The judge was told that the two men in the Skoda Octavia, who were from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, were both fathers and best friends. She said: ‘He was the reason I got out of bed in the morning. He did everything for me. Life is not worth living any more without my son by my side.’Mrs Lister said her son was a ‘gentle giant’.
Judge Hatton told Moxam, who stood in the dock wearing a blue-and-white track suit top and blue jeans, that he was imposing the maximum sentence for the offence of causing death by dangerous driving.
