A lorry driver, Zvonko Tomisa, is jailed for 11 years after a motorway crash in which he struck a car at a standstill, killing its driver. Tomisa, 58, was driving a MAN lorry on the M20 in Kent on 25 November. According to reports, he hit a Nissan Qashqai being driven by Arran McManus, 36, whose death followed the collision. Multiple outlets state that Tomisa was on a video call at the time of the incident, placing the call while operating the vehicle. McManus is described in the coverage as a father of two. The reports identify Tomisa as being from Vidovec in Croatia. The sentencing reflects the court’s assessment of the fatal impact of the crash while the vehicles were in stationary traffic. Across the accounts, the core details remain consistent: a lorry collision into standstill traffic on the M20 in Kent, the involvement of Tomisa and McManus, and Tomisa’s use of a video call immediately before or during the incident.
