A British man is facing the possibility of having involuntary manslaughter charges brought against him after he struck and killed a migrant from the so-called Calais "jungle" camp with his car.

Abraham Reichman, 35 ,the director of a jewellery importers based in Tottenham, north London, was driving towards the Eurotunnel site at 8.30pm on Sunday night when an Eritrean migrant and his wife rushed across his path, he told police.

The migrant was part of a group that were seeking to erect barriers to block passing cars on the A16 motorway in a bid to make them slow down so they could climb on top of them.
