Lorry Driver Charged After Ryanair Pilots Killed in M62 Crash
The lorry driver faces charges of causing death and serious injury by dangerous driving after a crash that killed two Ryanair pilots and seriously injured a taxi driver, police said.
- Cheshire Police today charged Anthony Burns, 63, with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and one of causing serious injury, and he is due at Warrington Magistrates on November 25.
- At around 5.31am on July 11, 2024, a taxi heading to Liverpool John Lennon Airport was struck on the M62 westbound between junctions eight and seven, involving two lorries.
- The taxi driver survived with serious head injuries and was taken to hospital, while an online fundraiser raised more than 40,000, and relatives said `In his too-short life he packed in so much and made the most of every moment`.
- A coroner's investigation due at Cheshire Coroner's Court in Warrington on March 18 was postponed, and Cheshire Police said families continue to be supported by specialist officers.
- Relatives and colleagues paid tribute to both pilots, underscoring the loss to their flying community; Captain Matt Greenhalgh, recently promoted and married three months ago, and Senior First Officer Jamie Fernandes, who joined Ryanair two months prior after studying at Buckinghamshire New University and Bolton School.
