A man who killed three people in a devastating crash on the A303 near Andover has been jailed for 12 years.
Michal Antoni Kopaniarz, 39, of Park Road in Donnington, Shropshire, was sentenced today (24 February) at Winchester Crown Court for the deaths of Alex Britton, Tina Ince and Tom Watson.
Kopaniarz pleaded guilty to causing their deaths by dangerous driving, as he was using his mobile phone at the time of the fatal collision on Wednesday 25 August 2021.
He also admitted to one charge of perverting the course of justice, after dash-cam footage caught him trying to destroy and discard his phone to hide the fact he had been using it while driving.
Sadly, Alex Britton, 28, from Fifth Avenue, Portsmouth, Tina Ince, 58, from Lydgate Road, Southampton, and Tom Watson, 30, from Cheriton Avenue, Southampton, all from separate vehicles, were pronounced dead at the scene.
