Hristo Iliev, 32, from Boston, Lincolnshire, is jailed for 11 years and three months after a fatal crash involving a toddler. Multiple reports say the incident happened near Sleaford in March 2025, when Iliev was driving and looked at videos on the social media platform TikTok while at the wheel. The Daily Mail reports that he spent around seven minutes watching clips before his vehicle struck a stationary car. The toddler died as a result of the collision. BBC News and the Daily Mail both identify Iliev as the driver and report the same custodial sentence of 11 years and three months at Lincoln Crown Court. The court case centers on the circumstances leading up to the impact, including the use of TikTok during the journey. All sources agree on the key outcome: Iliev is convicted and sentenced to a lengthy prison term following the death of a child in the crash.
