100mph Speeding Video Surfaces Days Before Fatal Crash, Driver Jailed

A 20-year-old man from Lancashire, Abubakr Mahmood, has been jailed for more than 12 years for causing the death of Safia Kareem. The court heard that days before the incident, Mahmood filmed himself driving at excessive speeds of up to 100mph. This footage was discovered on his phone by police. The collision occurred on Manchester Road in Nelson, Lancashire, as Ms. Kareem was crossing the road. A witness stated, "It was horrific; the speed he was going was unbelievable." The judge described Mahmood's actions as reckless and irresponsible, highlighting his previous driving offenses. This case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of dangerous driving.
