A BMW driver, who crashed into another vehicle at 150mph, killing the occupant, has been jailed for seven years.

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.
