    WALTHAM ABBEY: Death crash lorry driver jailed

    A GERMAN lorry driver has been jailed for 90 days following a fatal crash involving four lorries on the M25 near Waltham Abbey.

    Johann Reimer, 38, from Aachen, was summonsed following the collision which happened between junctions 26 and 25 on September 13, 2006, and led to the death of lorry driver Markus Peeren, 37, also from Germany.

    Reimer was also banned from driving for two years and ordered to take an extensive re-test before being allowed to drive again when he was sentenced for dangerous driving by Chelmsford magistrates yesterday.

    Reimer had failed to appear at court for an earlier hearing and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

    Police at the Port of Dover arrested Reimer in February.

    So he kills somebody in an accident caused by dangerous driving, evades justice for 17 months, and gets a 90 day prison sentence. Comparing this with a case of wilful vandalism that also resulted in a derisory sentence one can only conclude that magistrates throughout Essex must be totally out of touch with reality.
