A
death crash driver – who smashed head-on with a cabbie while
overtaking a bus on the wrong side of the road – has been jailed
for six years.
Massimo
Sassu, 29, of Carlton Avenue, Oakwood, north London ignored two 'keep
left' bollards while executing his dangerous manoeuvre at 3.30am.
He
pleaded guilty at Wood Green Crown Court to causing the death of 54
year-old mini-cab driver Ahmet Vural, by dangerous driving, in Green
Lanes, Winchmore Hill last August.
Sassu
was also disqualified from driving for five years and ordered to take
an extended test if he want his licence back.
He
was driving a black three series BMW when he crashed into Mr. Vural's
Ford Galaxy and a route 29 bus.
The
mini-cab driver, from Edmonton, was pronounced dead at the scene and
a post mortem confirmed the cause of death as serious head and chest
injuries.
A
passenger in the mini-cab, a man in his forties, was taken to a north
London hospital for treatment and later discharged.
Nobody
else was injured in the collision.
The
investigation led by Chadwell Heath Serious Collision Investigation
Unit found Sassu had overtaken a bus adjacent to two 'keep left'
bollards and hit the oncoming mini cab head on.
