Haulage boss Michael Holgate was jailed for 15 years for manslaughter and causing death whilst uninsured after one of his drivers lost control of a 30-tonne artic carrying a static caravan on the M62 in April 2018 and collided with a car {CM 8 July). The HGV driver, Jack Beston, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving and was jailed for six years.
