A fundraiser for the brother of the man who died on the M27 has raised more than £10,000 in less than two days.
Over £10,500 has been raised at the time of writing through an online crowdfunding page for Rafal Kaminski after his brother's tragic death last week.
Michal Kaminski had been delivering flooring on the South Coast when the Mercedes lorry he was driving was involved in a crash with two cars last Wednesday lunchtime.
The 36-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene near Eastleigh and his family are being supported by specialist officers.
Now more than 500 supporters have sent money to help Rafal in the wake of this incident in order to pay the bills that his older brother would have paid off.
The family of a lorry driver who died on the M27 last week have said they will "always remember" him smiling.
A week on, his family paid tribute to Michal saying he will always be in their hearts.
In a statement, they said: "In loving memory of Michal Kaminski, who died in a tragic crash on the M27 on 21st of February 2024.
"You will always be in our hearts and we will always remember you smiling."
