A chef who was driving on the wrong side of the road has been sentenced to two years and four months for killing a taxi driver in a crash.

Christopher Boyle, 57, died on 2 September on the A4139 between Tenby and Penally in Pembrokeshire.

Mateusz Sikorski, 30, pleaded guilty to death by dangerous driving.

The court previously heard Sikorski had been visiting the UK from Poland, and was staying with friends.

He was driving towards Penally when he collided head-on with Mr Boyle, who was travelling in the opposite direction.

Sikorski initially told police at the scene that Mr Boyle was travelling on the wrong side of the road, but later admitted he was on the wrong side of the road, which was backed up by CCTV footage from a nearby petrol station.

He claimed the taxi’s headlights blinded him.

Craig Harding, prosecuting, said: “Mateusz Sikorski’s manner of driving posed a major risk to other road users and resulted in fatal consequences.

“Our thoughts and sympathies remain with Mr Boyle’s family and friends who have suffered a dreadful loss.”
