A LORRY driver, who was distracted on a hands-free call when he killed a Barrow RAF sergeant on the motorway, has been jailed for three years. Scott McConnell, from Barrow, was sat in his VW Golf with the hazard warning lights on when an articulated lorry ploughed into the back of his car. HGV driver Malcolm Clarkson, 44, of Cat Tail Lane, Southport, was jailed for three-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. Clarkson, who Warwick Crown Court heard was speaking to his mother on a hands-free phone and only braked 24 metres before impact, was also banned from driving for six years and nine months.
