Dad urges drivers not to use their phones after his son was killed in horror crash
A grieving dad is urging drivers not to use their phones behind the wheel after his son was killed in horror crash - by a motorist who 'checked Facebook'. Andy O'Dell's son, Joe Cairns, 14, was killed when HGV driver James Majury ploughed into a school minibus on the M58 in Lancashire in January 2019. Majury - who had been using his phone throughout his journey - also killed support worker Anne Kerr, 50, and injured five others in the collision. He was jailed for eight years and 10 months for death by dangerous driving offences and two years and eight months for the causing serious injury offences. Dad-of-three Andy, 55, says his son's death was "totally preventable" and is now urging motorists to "think twice" before using their phones while driving. Andy, a support worker for adults with learning difficulties, from Bury, Lancashire, said: "I lost my whole world because of James Majury's selfish actions.
