Selby jury return verdict of ‘unlawful killing’
The Selby inquest jury has returned a verdict of unlawful killing on the deaths of ten people killed in the Selby train tragedy.
After three hour of deliberation the jury returned a unanimous verdict on those killed in the February 2001 rail crash.
Coroner David Hinchliff, who has been hearing evidence in the case since Monday, directed the jury to return a verdict of unlawful killing.
The jury heard how the Land Rover driven by Gary Hart had veered off the M62, plunged down an embankment into the path of the high-speed GNER express train. Derailed by the collision with the Land Rover, the express train hit an oncoming goods train.
Convicted on ten counts of causing death by dangerous driving, Hart from Strubby in Lincolnshire was sentenced to five years in prison.
A jury trial at Leeds Crown Court in December 2001, determined that Hart had fallen asleep at the wheel of his Land Rover after spending the night on the phone to a woman he had been in contact with via the internet.
