Zachar was fined and banned from driving for seven years for careless driving causing death, and was later diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea. Seven legal actions were brought over the crash. The Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal by MDS Distribution Ltd, confirming the council bore no liability and that the truck company and driver bore full responsibility for the crash.
