Overview
- Tomisa, who was sentenced Monday at Maidstone Crown Court, received 11 years in prison and a 14-year, four-month driving ban.
- He was driving about 55mph on the M20 on 25 November 2025 and braked less than a second before hitting Arran McManus’s stationary car, crushing it into a lorry.
- Phone and dashcam evidence showed multiple calls, messages, and camera activations in the prior hour, with an active video call at the moment of impact.
- He changed his plea to guilty on 9 April after first denying responsibility, and the judge rejected anxiety over his wife's operation as any excuse.
- McManus’s partner described a shattering loss for their family, and Kent Police called the death completely avoidable as they warned drivers about phone use.
