A man has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of his disabled son who was killed in a crash while trying to run across the M62. Matthew Rycroft was driving drunk on the motorway before crashing his car on a slip road with his son Callum Rycroft also in the vehicle, said the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Callum, 12, was hit by a car while attempting to cross between junctions 25 and 26 of the M62 at about 9.50pm on August 5. The CPS said Callum had no speed awareness due to his disability and “should have been under the protection of his father”.
On Tuesday, Callum’s father Matthew Rycroft, 36, pleaded guilty to manslaughter, dangerous driving and failing to provide a specimen. Appearing via a videolink from prison to Leeds Crown Court, Rycroft of Nowell View, Leeds admitted driving an Audi Q5 dangerously on the day of the crash.

He also pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen, which a court previously heard was at Leeds General Infirmary the next day. The crash happened between Paddock Cricket Club, Huddersfield and Hartshead Moor services.
Rycroft had visited his parents in Huddersfield with Callum and had been drinking throughout the day, a CPS spokesperson said. They added that Rycroft’s parents urged him not to drive and offered him a place to stay overnight, but he refused and drove away.
“His parents called him and urged him to stop driving, but he paid no heed,” the CPS said. "Callum was heard in the background saying ‘Dad … won’t stop’. They also tried to follow him, but Rycroft ignored them, and his Audi was seen driving erratically in Huddersfield, before joining the M62 at junction 25.”

Rolling Stone last week (September 14), which reported that two festival-goers had filed the lawsuit just over a week after the 2023 instalment, which ran between September 2 and September 3.Here, they highlighted the tumultuous conditions faced by ticket holders over the weekend, and described the two-day event as “a nightmare endured by thousands of electronic music fans”.According to reports, the first day was cancelled just three hours before it was set to start due to ongoing “global supply chain issues”, which reportedly prevented the construction of the main stage at the festival.Additionally, the final day reportedly opened late and was oversold – with the full capacity being met by midday and approximately 7,000 festival-goers being prevented from entering the site, despite having valid tickets.As shared by the outlet, the plaintiffs – Nicole Brockmole and Lauren Bair – are seeking damages on behalf of all of “all affected patrons who paid for ticket(s) for access or entry to [Electric Zoo] were not granted access”.The lawsuit also highlights that “in addition to Friday’s cancellation”, the circumstances at the site on Randall’s Island, New York soon “turned worse for Electric Zoo fans on Sunday when they were left to languish in heatwave for hours after being greeted by never-ending lines to enter the festival and eventually denied entry because the venue was oversold and overcrowded”.Brockmole and Blair – who are from North Carolina and Arizona respectively – were among thousands who travelled to New York for the festival, only to be denied entry. Another attendee who faced the same predicament told Rolling Stone: “I’m never coming back.
