A MAN who died in a fatal collision on the M3 was most likely suffering a seizure at the time of his death.

Jason Mullin, 45, was pronounced dead at the scene following a collision between junction 12 and 11 northbound of the M3, between Otterbourne and Compton at 5.14am on the morning of Wednesday, September 6.

Dramatic dash cam footage from the Peugeot campervan of witnesses Clifford and Wendy Bryant showed Mr Mullin’s grey Vauxhall Astra drift across all three lanes of the motorway, collide with the central reservation, then rebound back across the carriageway before hitting a police ramp, flipping onto its roof before finally coming to a stop in the left hand lane with debris from the tree line.

A post mortem revealed that Mr Mullin, of Columbia Road, Bournemouth, had died of severe head trauma and a fractured spine as a result of the roof of his car caving in.

Collision investigator Simon Brookes said that he believed Mr Mullin was incapacitated during the accident as footage showed he made no attempt to break or right the car.

Winchester Coroner’s Court heard how Mr Mullin had a long history of accidents, including an almost identical crash on the M3 in June 2017, which was attributed to aquaplaning in wet weather.

His sister, Sarah Taylor, said that she believed that her brother’s crashes were the result of seizures caused by alcohol withdrawal and his epilepsy.

“His life was fits and seizures,” she said.

A GP report from Dr Fadia Sobhy revealed that the security officer had a history of alcohol abuse and had been diagnosed with epilepsy in 2002.

The court in Winchester on Tuesday heard how he had his driving licence taken away from him on three separate occasions for drink driving offences between 2002 and 2006.

Despite his history, a toxicology report from Dr Peter Street revealed that Mr Mullin was sober at the time of his death.

The court heard how despite his history of fits Mr Mullin had not reported many of them to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, or his doctor.

Senior Investigating officer Barry Long told the court that Mr Mullin had been granted a conditional five-year driving licence after his GP had informed the DVLA that his last epileptic episode had been in February of 2012.

Senior Central Hampshire Coroner Grahame Short said “He was not fit to drive and his licence should have been revoked previously.”

“He was a danger to himself and other road users.”

Mr Short recorded a verdict of accidental death.
