Tired killer driver had 4 chances to take a break

PASSENGER DIED AFTER VAN PLOUGHED INTO BACK OF LORRY AT 91MPH

- BEN PERRIN

A "FATIGUED" Birmingham van driver who killed his passenger when he smashed into the back of a lorry at 91mph drove past four service stations where he could have taken a break.

Legard Swaby was driving from London to Birmingham in the early hours when he crashed on the M40 near Warwick in May last year. The passenger suffered catastrophic injuries and died later in hospital.

Swaby, from Washwood Heath, made no attempt to break or steer in a way that could have prevented the tragedy, police said.
