A man who caused the death of a woman on the M2 near Faversham due to excessive speeding has been sentenced to over 12 years in prison.
Sensenal Amaglo, 42, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving after the fatal collision on the London-bound carriageway between junctions 6 and 5 on the morning of November 27, 2022. His own dashcam captured the incident, which occurred when his Mercedes C-Class, travelling at over 120mph, struck the rear of the victim’s vehicle, resulting in her immediate death.
The woman, in her 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene. Following an investigation by Kent Police, Amaglo was charged and ultimately sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on Monday, May 12, 2025, to 12 years and three months’ imprisonment. He will serve at least eight years and two months before being eligible for parole and will be banned from driving for 10 years after his release.
Detective Constable Sara Capozzi said:
‘Amaglo’s driving that morning was truly appalling and resulted in the most tragic of consequences. I hope that the custodial sentence he has received offers opportunity for him to reflect on his thoughtless and grossly irresponsible actions, which led to the loss of a much loved and cherished woman’s life.
‘I would like to thank the witnesses in this case, whose evidence helped secure Amaglo’s conviction and ensure that this dangerous driver was put behind bars for several years.’
