Chilling footage of killer driver walking into petrol station before causing son’s death

Newly released CCTV footage has captured the chilling moment leading up to a horror crash on the M6 [1], in which a cocaine-fuelled driver lost control and killed his 14-year-old son.

The man behind the wheel was Daniel Burba [2], 31, who drove a Peugeot Bipper van in an 'erratic manner' before veering off the southbound carriageway near Lancaster [3] on April 20. The van mounted a grass embankment between junctions 34 and 33 and smashed into a tree, rolling over with devastating force.

His son, Ryan, was in the front passenger seat and died at the scene from head injuries. Burba's van was seen swerving across lanes with hazard lights flashing, travelling well above the 70mph speed limit, before the fatal crash.
