The first was causing the death of Michael Lloyd by driving a Peugeot 308 on Dawley Green Way, Telford, without due care and attention on August 9 last year – and driving when he had in his body a proportion of cocaine that exceeds the legal limit. In a tribute following his death Mr Lloyd’s family said he was “a much-loved husband, a proud dad, grandad, brother and friend”.
