Barry O’Sullivan, 45, was convicted of causing the death of Pulvinder Dhillon in a crash on the M4 after his van collided with her stationary Nissan Micra. The incident occurred on March 7, 2022, when the Micra broke down in the fast lane, and a technical failure meant no warnings were displayed to drivers. Despite defense arguments that the crash was inevitable, the prosecution highlighted O’Sullivan’s careless driving at high speed as a key factor. Dhillon’s daughter had activated hazard lights, but O’Sullivan failed to notice the danger until it was too late, resulting in a fatal impact.
