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.”
