Man jailed for running red light and crashing into lorry on Shropshire crossroads
A man who drove through red lights into the path of a lorry injuring himself and his passengers has been jailed.
Kyle Watson and two other men were hurt when the vehicle was involved in a crash at Crudgington crossroads on August 6, 2015.
Mr Howard Searle, prosecuting, told Shrewsbury Crown Court that two of them were airlifted to hospital following the crash at the A442 junction with the B5062 near Telford.
He said a car driver who witnessed the crash described how Watson overtook her at speed and went through the temporary traffic lights.
The lorry driver, a Mr Walker who was unhurt, said Watson “simply drove through them and straight into his vehicle”.
