A LORRY driver who was found dead in a lay-by on the Aire Valley trunk road near Steeton has been named by coroner's officers as Polish national Krzysztos Bogdan Sron.

Mr Sron, 63, who lived in Sheffield, was discovered on the ground near the articulated lorry he had been driving by a passing motorist on Monday morning.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The lorry operator, Doncaster-based Emms and Son Limited, has declined to comment.

Mr Sron died of natural causes so there will not be an inquest, said a spokesman at Bradford Coroner's Office.
