Main article content
A man has been jailed for killing a motorcyclist in a fatal crash.
At approximately 4.05pm on Tuesday 27 April 2021, a road traffic collision occurred on the A30 London Road near Blackwater.
This involved a white Citroen Berlingo van, driven by Lee Morris, and a Honda motorcycle being ridden by Michael Poulter.
Winchester Crown Court heard how Morris was travelling to Yateley Common when he missed the turning he was supposed to take.
Morris then pulled into a layby on the westbound carriageway just prior to arriving at the roundabout junction of the A30 and A327.
The court heard that Morris then decided to perform a U-turn to go back to the exit for Yateley Common and pulled out directly into the path of the motorcyclist.
Sadly Mr Poulter, a 58-year-old from Yateley, suffered catastrophic injuries and sadly died at the scene.
Morris, 46, of Grosvenor Road in Aldershot, was handed a four year jail sentence today.
