Another report was a bit more detailed about what happened:
> *The court was told: ‘The HGV began to veer from the lane onto the hard shoulder.*
> *’The vehicle drifted over a period of between seven to eight seconds with no corrective action being taken or braking to alter the course of travel.*
> *’The lorry travelled on the hard shoulder for approximately 88.5 metres until the point of impact with the rear of Evelyn Brown vehicle.*
> *’It is noted there is no sound or exclamation within the cab (of the lorry) immediately before impact confirming Norgate, at that time, did not have his eyes on the road.’*
Scroll down and the most read story on the BBC News site is “Cyclists who kill could face life sentence” – meanwhile we have a guy getting a couple of years for killing someone.

Stop using Irish sentencing guidelines.

In the [STV report](https://news.stv.tv/west-central/lorry-driver-who-killed-heavily-pregnant-nurse-in-motorway-crash-jailed) it says “He remains mystified as to what caused the collision.” and “he thinks there may have been a noise and this caused him to be distracted for the eight seconds in the lead up to the incident. “, aye I think we can guess why when you already have 6 points for a mobile phone offence…
Another day, another example of a scummy, ignorant and selfish driver killing someone.
