A man has been charged in connection with the case of a vulnerable mystery man who was found lost in Hereford in November 2015 - talking with an American accent.

The unusual discovery was made in a Hereford bus station car park and tests showed he had dementia. While in hospital, the elderly man, who had no ID, gave his name once only - Roger Curry.

Stoke-on-Trent lorry driver David Wagstaff was jailed for three years and four months for his role in the crash on the M1 that killed eight people on a minibus last August.

In sentencing, Judge Francis Sheridan said Wagstaff had "between nine and 11 seconds to see the vehicles ahead" and had been "distracted" by using his phone, despite it being on bluetooth.

"You took no action whatsoever because you weren't concentrating on what was in front of you, they were there to be seen and you didn't see them," the judge said.

However, he acknowledged his good driving record, remorse and guilty plea.

Investigations into a crash which killed six people in December are continuing, West Midlands Police said.

Among those who died were taxi driver Imtiaz Mohammed, 33, and his two passengers Lucy Davis, 43, and Lee Jenkins, 42.

"In short, you are a persistent, unmitigated, if not very accomplished, liar," he said.

The judge went on to say Masierak had shown "no remorse" and that there was "no mitigation" in his case.

The line was closed this morning following a safety inspection.

The timber reportedly needs to be custom made, meaning it will take several days to be installed.
