Speeding driver jailed for fatal Lamborghini crash

BBC News

A driver who caused the death of her friend when she lost control of a rented Lamborghini and crashed into a motorway barrier has been jailed for 10 years. Mohammed Shaan Hussain, 20, died when Humaira Batool crashed the £200,000 supercar on the M62, near Ripponden, in West Yorkshire, in December 2022, causing it to flip over and burst into flames. During her trial, jurors heard Batool, 26, from Bradford, had been driving at speeds of up to 140mph (230km/h) in wet conditions shortly before the crash. Passing sentence, Judge Ray Singh said Hussain died as a result of Batool's decision to drive the powerful performance vehicle at eye-watering extreme speeds on a damp motorway in darkness. The judge said: This was not a momentary lapse of concentration.
