A Polish lorry driver today/Monday pleaded guilty to killing a 19-year-old car passenger by dangerous driving on the M1 in Bedfordshire.
HGV driver Wojciech Bukowski, 64, admitted killing teenager Zahid Ahmed in a crash that happened on Sunday 1st December at 3.15 in the afternoon on the southbound carriageway near Junction 11A.
Mr Bukowski of Travertine Close, Houghton Conquest, Beds appeared at Luton crown court via a video link from Wormwood Scrubs jail.
He also pleaded guilty to four charges of causing serious injury by dangerous driving in the same crash.
Prosecutor Peter Shaw said that a basis of plea put forward by the defence was not going to be contested.
Mr Bukowski’s barrister Anita Grundzinska asked for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
Judge Mark Bishop agreed but said: “Custody is inevitable. The report will go into the length of the sentence.”
He remanded the defendant in custody for a sentencing hearing on June 1st.
