Death crash HGV driver used mobile apps moments before ploughing into minibus in UK

Joe Cairns, 14, from Radcliffe, Greater Manchester, and school support worker Anne Kerr, 50, from Southport, died from their injuries at the scene.

An HGV driver who killed a schoolboy and a mother-of-two in a motorway collision “unleashed a 19.2-tonne battering ram” when he used his mobile phone at the wheel, a court has heard.

James Majury, 33, opened a number of apps during his journey including medieval fantasy game Hustle Castle and Sky Sports News, as well as sending text messages to his mother.
