Cocaine-fuel father put son’s M6 Crash Death in jail

A driver on cocaine who had ignored medical advice to stop driving before the accident, who killed his teenage son, was jailed for 10 years.

31 -year -old Daniel Burba of Morekambay had a epileptic fit on his wife’s van’s wheel, when it was out of M6 near Lancaster on April 20, killing his 14 -year -old son Ryan Morgan.

Paramedics found a small bag of class a drug, as he treated the 31 -year -old barba, which was earlier seized due to misuse of cocaine.

Preston Crown Court Judge Robert Altham put Burba in jail and said that he had made “deliberate decisions” to drive and “disregard the lives of others”.

The court heard that the barba fainted when Ryan tried to grab the wheel to control the vehicle, before the junction crashed into a tree between 33 and 34.

Ryan’s death was told to the court, “in terror”.

But Berba, who never passed the driving test and had only one provisional license, was “taken to the hospital with” relatively modest “cuts and injuries in their ribs.

Blood tests showed that it was four times above the legal drug-drive limit.

An investigation found that he was told by a doctor in October 2024 that he should stop taking cocaine after a seizure that lasted for four minutes.

Preston’s honorary recorder judge Ultham said that the court had not decided to drive Burba’s drive.

“You were unlicensed. You should not have driving”, he said, adding Burba shows that taking cocaine will make a more dangerous drive to drive.

Judge Altham said that Ryan has been “denied most parts of his life and was a notable young boy by any measure”.

In an impact statement, Ryan’s sister said that she had “left a hole in my heart that would never be filled”.

Berba of Arnseed Crescent convicted the earlier hearing due to death from dangerous driving.

He also accepted driving without license and without insurance.
