Bentley-Driving Racer Jumped Red Light And Crashed Into Motorist

A Bentley-driving boy-racer, who seriously injured another driver after crashing into his car when jumping a red light, has been jailed.

Arian Mohamad, 31, of Albion Road, Hounslow had been racing a 24 year-old woman, according to police, shortly before the smash.

The 42 year-old victim's seatbelt broke on impact and he was thrown from his vehicle, sustaining serious injuries, which he continues to try and overcome.

Mohamad pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving in Great West Road, Hounslow on October 2, 2017.

At Isleworth Crown Court he received two years and two months and was disqualified from driving for four years and ordered to take an extended driving test before he can legally return to the road.

It was 10.30pm when Mohamad drove his Bentley Continental GT at over 50mph as he raced the second vehicle.

Together the pair overtook and undertook each other, bullying other road users out of the way.

The second driver eventually turned off to return home, but Mohamad continued to drive at excess speed.

He approached traffic lights at Vicarage Farm Road, which were red.

The victim was driving to the same junction and passed through a green light.

As he did so, Mohamad travelled through the red light and collided with the victim’s vehicle at approximately 48mph.

Police and an ambulance were called and the victim was conveyed to hospital.

Mohamad was arrested at the scene and subsequently released under investigation.

He was charged by postal requisition in August, 2018.

Detective Constable Aaron Moon, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “We are delighted to have secured this sentence.

“Mohamad displayed a total disregard for the safety of other road users and consequently the victim has been left with injuries from which he may never fully recover.

“I would urge anyone who may display similar behaviour to consider the impact it can have on someone’s life and to drive responsibly.”

A 24-year-old female, who has pleaded not guilty to a charge of dangerous driving is due to stand trial in April, next year.
