A LORRY driver ploughed into stationary traffic leaving victims with life-changing injuries and one choking on their own blood.

Police said "it is a miracle that no one was killed on the road that day" when Kuljinder Singh smashed into the rear of a van at more than 50mph and was still accelerating at the moment of impact.

The Mercedes HGV driver failed to brake for traffic on the A27 in Chichester, Sussex.

The 45-year-old was recorded crashing into the vehicle and left three people with "life-changing serious injuries".

"The driver of that HGV has destroyed my life," one victim said.

Singh, of Ennis Square, Redcar, was arrested and charged with three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He admitted the charges at Portsmouth Crown Court on October 10 and has now been sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison.
