A lorry driver has denied causing the death of Arthur Jackson in a Darenth Interchange crash on the M25.
Virginijus Sertvytis’ vehicle hit a car just after 3.45am on February 11.
Mr Jackson suffered injuries to his head, neck, chest, arm and leg and was taken to Kings College Hospital by road – and died two weeks later.
The barrier is repaired
Three other people suffered minor injuries and were also rushed to hospital.
One of the cars hit a barrier with such force that a lane on the M25 was closed for a week.
Sertvytis, 45, pleaded not guilty to causing death by careless driving at Maidstone Crown Court on Wednesday.
The Lithuanian man has been bailed until April 18 next year.
