John Yates, 28, was jailed for eight years and three months after admitting to causing the death of 41-year-old father-to-be Christopher Smith by dangerous driving during a crash on the M6 in Cheshire
As he approached the area where the traffic was merging, Yates' white Volkswagen Scirocco collided with the side of a Peugeot 307 before hitting Mr Smith's Peugeot 107 at high speed.Yates returned to the motorway five hours later and was arrested at the scene.
"Rather than staying to try to help Christopher and face the consequences of his actions, he ran off and left him to die," he said. "His parting comments to investigators was that he puts all of his trust in those investigating the collision." "He was excited at the prospect of becoming a dad and a gentleman who was doing nothing wrong whatsoever.
