A man has been charged after a lorry driver was killed in a crash on a Hampshire motorway.

Michal Kaminski was driving on the M27 near junction five for Southampton Airport when his lorry collided with two other cars on 21 February.

Hampshire Constabulary said the 36-year-old from Salisbury, Wiltshire, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ross Neiland, 38, from Littlehampton, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, causing death while uninsured, causing death while unfit through drink or drugs, and driving without a licence.

He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Southampton Crown Court on 1 November.

A 32-year-old man from Yapton, Arundel, who was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drink driving, died in September.

Sussex Police said the circumstances of his death were not related to the crash.
