A selfish motorist whose excessive speeding led to the death of a woman on the M2 near Faversham has been jailed for more than 12 years.
Sensenal Amaglo, 42, admitted causing death by dangerous driving after a fatal collision on the motorway – which was captured on his own dashcam – on the morning of 27th November 2022.
Amaglo’s Mercedes C-Class was speeding at more than 120mph before he struck the back of another vehicle, instantly causing the death of the other driver. Both cars were travelling between junctions 6 and 5, in lane one of the London-bound carriageway.
Patrols and paramedics attended the incident and a woman in her 50s was confirmed deceased at the scene. Officers found Amaglo in his car and he was arrested.
Following a complex investigation by specialist serious collision detectives from Kent Police, Amaglo was later charged.
After initially pleading not guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, he subsequently changed his plea. On Monday 12th May 2025 at Maidstone Crown Court, the offender was sentenced to 12 years and three months in jail. He will have to serve a minimum of eight years and two months before he is eligible for parole, and will be banned from driving for 10 years following his release. A further charge of causing death by careless driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs was ordered to remain on file.
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.’
