Jan Vekaria's husband Parv was killed in April 2022, after Leeds window salesman Daniel Midgley ignored a series of warning signs and markings and caused a fatal, head-on collision.

Midgley was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison for death by dangerous driving.

Dad-of-two Mr Vekaria, 59, was involved in the head on collision near Hebden Bridge. He died 11 days later in hospital.
