Lorry driver charged over M62 pilot deaths

Captain Matt Greenhalgh, 28, of Stockport, and Senior First Officer Jamie Fernandes, 24, were travelling to Liverpool John Lennon Airport in a taxi at 5.31am on July 11 last year when they were killed in a horrific crash on the M62.

The incident, which involved the taxi and two lorries, occurred on the westbound carriageway between junction 8 and junction 7.

Mr Greenhalgh and Mr Fernandes died at the scene, while the taxi driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Cheshire Police have today announced that a lorry driver has been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, and one of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, in relation to the incident.

Anthony Burns, 63, of Headington Road, Upton, has been summonsed to appear at Warrington Magistrates’ Court on November 25.
