Truck Driver Jailed for Killing Teenage Woman in Crash on M6 in Cheshire
Barlow was also banned from driving for 10 years and 4 months after evidence showed he used his phone and logged into a gambling website while driving.
- On Friday, HGV driver Daniel Barlow, 30, was sentenced to eight years and four months at Chester Crown Court for causing the death of 19-year-old Chloe Williams by dangerous driving.
- The collision occurred on December 2, 2022, near junction 17 of the M6 in Cheshire when Barlow's DAF truck struck a stationary Volkswagen Polo, killing Williams and injuring two other passengers.
- Evidence revealed Barlow was using a gambling website on his phone while driving at 55mph, failing to react to stationary traffic for at least 11.5 seconds despite a clear view ahead.
- Judge Patrick Thompson disqualified Barlow from driving for 10 years and four months, describing his failure to attend court as the 'ultimate act of disrespect and cowardice.'
- Williams' family stated that 'the impact of that loss will never leave us' and they will always wonder about the life she should have lived.
