The HSE said the site\u2019s traffic management plan was inadequate, exposing workers and the public to the risk of serious injury or death.<\/p>\n<p>The Met Police passed evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which led to a separate prosecution of the driver.<\/p>\n<h3>Driver handed suspended sentence<\/h3>\n<p>Jamie Smith was charged with causing death by careless driving under section 2B of the Road Traffic Act 1988.<\/p>\n<p>He pleaded guilty and, in February 2024, was sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court to six months in custody, suspended for two years.
