150 MPH Death Crash Driver Jailed


A BMW driver, who crashed into another vehicle at 150mph, killing the occupant, has been jailed for seven years.
Shehzad Munir, 25, (pictured) of Boundary Road, Plaistow was driving his black 645i along the A13 in Rainham on September 9, 2010 at 1.25am when he collided with a red Nissan Primera.
The other driver, 30 year-old Sukhpreet Singh Chimber, of Arterial Road, Grays was pronounced dead at the scene.
Munir taken to an East London police station and arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
Detective Sergeant Joe Lock, of the Road Death Investigation unit at Chadwell Heath, said: “This sentence reflects the way the courts view of this type of offence. 


“The defendant in this matter drove his vehicle in excess of twice the national speed limit without any consideration for other road users. 


“As a result, an innocent family man has lost his life. 


I would hope this sends out a positive message that the Metropolitan Police Service deals robustly with matters of this nature.”
