Lorry driver who killed two Luton women on M25 given suspended sentence

A man from Coventry has been given a four-month jail term suspended for 12 months for causing death by careless driving.

Sevim Üstün, 49, and Ayşe Üstün, 68, from Northdrift Way, Luton, were killed when a lorry hit the car they had been travelling on the M25 near Waltham Abbey.

A ten-year-old girl was also seriously injured in the crash.

Their Audi A3 had been stationary after pulling over to fix a punctured tyre between junctions 26 and 27 of the motorway. Both were pronounced dead at around 11.30pm on Tuesday, March 19, 2018.

Krzysztof Zarebski, 35, of Gordon Street, Coventry, appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court for his trial, on Monday, February 24.

Zarebski, who must complete 200 hours unpaid work and was disqualified from driving for 12 months, had about four seconds to react to seeing the car which had its hazard lights on, the court heard.
