A man is due to be sentenced after pleading guilty to death by dangerous driving in a five vehicle crash at Mepal which killed a 60-year-old Wisbech man.
Stephen James, 47, is due to appear at Peterborough Crown Court tomorrow (Thursday 22) for sentencing after previously pleading guilty to death by dangerous driving and also to a charge of serious injury by dangerous driving.
James, of Haverhill, was driving a Nissan Patrol on December 20 last year when he collided with a Renault Traffic van, Vauxhall Corsa, Vauxhall Corsa van and an arctic lorry on the A142 at Mepal.
The driver of the Vauxhall Corsa van, 60-year-old Keith Howlett of Mill Lane in Wisbech, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene.
The drivers of the Renault Traffic and arctic lorry both suffered serious but not life threatening injuries.
