Barry O'Sullivan, 45, has been sentenced to six months in jail, suspended for 12 months, after being convicted of causing death by careless driving for killing 68-year-old Pulvinder Dhillon on the M4 in Berkshire. The grandmother from London died when O'Sullivan's van hit her daughter's broken-down Nissan Micra, which caught fire. O'Sullivan was driving at 77mph without a seatbelt. The smart motorway's alert system had not been working for days before the crash, though prosecutors said any competent driver should have avoided the stationary vehicle.
