A woman whose son suffered brain damage when his car was hit by a lorry is calling for all HGV drivers to be tested for sleep disorders.

Carole Upcraft's son Daniel was injured and his fiance Nicola Culshaw was killed as they queued for the Dartford Tunnel in April last year.

The lorry driver was later diagnosed with sleep apnoea, a condition which causes disturbed sleep patterns.

A case of death by dangerous driving against him was dropped.
