Christopher Tribe, 57, caused a collision in Sandycroft, Flintshire, on 3/12/2024. The truck driver failed to clear his windshield, limiting visibility. Sun glare further complicated the situation.
Dashcam footage shows Tribe's expression of shock after the impact. He attempted a sudden stop when a minibus appeared, but could not prevent the crash. The collision shattered his windshield, forced the minibus into a ditch, and damaged other vehicles. Police drone images revealed the chaos at the scene, with some glue Tribe was transporting spilled onto the road.
No major injuries occurred, but the minibus driver, a passenger, and another car's driver sustained bruises. Court records indicate Tribe had previously used his phone while driving, though this was not a factor in the incident.
Tribe received a 36-week conditional sentence and an 18-month driving ban on 20/11/2024.
