Gran killed in horror smash after delivery driver took amphetamine to stay awake

The case of a van driver who killed a grandmother in a motorway smash having taken amphetamine 'to stay awake while making deliveries across the country' left a judge 'astonished'.

Marcin Szewczyk, 43, ploughed into the back of a Kia Sportage in heavy traffic at 58mph, pushing it into a HGV.

Suzanne Taylor was a passenger in the back seat of the vehicle, which was at a stand-still with the hazards on. The 71-year-old suffered fatal injuries and tragically died at the scene, on the M6 near Sandbach in Cheshire.
