Man jailed after another man was killed in fatal Audi A4 crash in Birmingham
Mohammed Ali jailed after driving at 90mph and causing a fatal Birmingham crash that killed Hizar Hanif in February 2024.
A man has been jailed after another man was killed after a vehicle ploughed into the back of his car on a Birmingham road.
Hizar Hanif was killed after an Audi A4 ploughed into the back of the car he was travelling along Soho Road, Handsworth on February 18, 2024.
The driver of the Audi, Mohammed Ali, was seen dangerously overtaking other cars at speeds of up to 90mph moments before the crash.
Hizar Hanif died at the scene. He and his friend were preparing for his friend’s wedding the following week and were travelling to a friends house to collect suits when they were hit by Ali’s car.
Fortunately, Mr Hanif’s friend suffered minor physical injuries but is still recovering from the loss.
Mohammed Ali also collided with another car, seriously injuring the driver.
Ali, aged 27, of Robert Road, Birchfeld, was taken to hospital where he also verbally and physically assaulted a police officer. He was arrested and later charged with causing death by dangerous driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and assaulting a police officer.
The driver pleaded guilty at a hearing in Birmingham Crown Court last month and was sentenced yesterday (April 17) to seven years in prison and banned from driving for four years and six months on release.
A statement from 32-year-old Hanif's wife was read out in court: "That day my life changed forever. I lost my soulmate, my son lost his daddy, his parents lost a son and his brothers lost their big brother.
"I don't understand how one minute life was perfect, and then it wasn't. This should never have happened. I have no peace and I'm living on autopilot.
"My son didn't have enough time with his daddy and that's not ok. No child should have to experience grief so young. I am struggling to figure out how i live in a world without him beside me.
"Hizar was everything to our family. A loving husband, a devoted father, son, brother and the heart of our family. His loss is something we will carry with us for the rest of our lives."
