A lorry driver has been jailed for four years for crashing into a stationary car and killing a seven-year-old boy who was inside. Mohammed Ali Ahmed was a passenger in a Toyota Rav4 when it was hit on the A4146 near Milton Keynes.
Christopher Mallett, 35, of Clyde Place in Bletchley, was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving. He was banned from driving for three-and-a-half years and ordered to take an extended driving test. The collision happened on the southbound section of the Stoke Hammond by-pass at about 14:20 GMT on 20 March and the boy died at the scene. Mallett had admitted the lesser offence of causing death by careless driving, but denied the dangerous driving charge.
An Aylesbury Crown Court jury found him guilty of the more serious offence after a trial at Amersham in February.
