An uninsured driver has been jailed after a 13-year-old girl died when the car she was a passenger in was hit at twice the speed limit.

After the accident, uninsured driver Gibran Hussain lied to police and claimed his father had been behind the wheel.

Aanisah Rashid, who was the front-seat passenger in her father Azad’s car, died from severe head injuries. Bradford Crown Court heard she had not been restrained by a seatbelt.

Insurance claims worker Hussain, 21, who pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving and causing death by driving while uninsured, was jailed for nine months and banned from driving for three years.

Relatives of Aanisah said they had not got justice.

The court heard that Hussain, of Box Tree Close, Girlington, had previously committed two offences of driving without insurance, driving without a licence, failing to produce documents, driving through a red light and driving while using a mobile phone.

Judge Peter Benson said Hussain had shown a deliberate disregard for road traffic regulations.

The accident happened at 8.45pm on January 13 last year.

Prosecutor Abdul Iqbal said that as Mr Rashid turned right from Haworth Road, Heaton, into Thorn Drive, Hussain, driving his father’s powerful BMW, collided with the passenger side of the Bentley.

Both cars were spun round and the Bentley finished on the pavement.

Mr Iqbal said the speed of the BMW may have caused Mr Rashid to under-estimate the time required to make the turn.

Scientific examination suggested that at the moment of impact the BMW was travelling between 53mph and 63mph, and as it approached the junction its speed may have been considerably greater than 60mph.

The prosecutor said when police attended, the defendant said he had been a passenger in the car and his father had been the driver.

Mr Iqbal said: “His father accepted that position and was breathalysed and taken to the police station. When the true position became clear the defendant was arrested.”

Hussain’s barrister, Simon Myers, said there was no evidence of his client braking, and whatever happened was too quick for evasive action.

Mr Myers said Hussain was genuinely remorseful and aware of the devastating consequences for the family of the victim. He had no intention of ever driving again.

Judge Benson said it was not clear why Mr Rashid had turned across the path of the BMW, but it may be he did not anticipate Hussain was travelling at such a speed.

The judge added: “Cases of this sort are always a tragedy for all those involved, but particularly for the parents and family of this young girl. Their tragic loss will bring pain that will never go away.

“You, too, have felt that loss and have expressed deep and genuine remorse for what you did, and your life will be blighted as a result of what occurred that day.

“I bear in mind that remorse, and also the fact that, while your speeding was a significant contributory cause of the tragic accident that resulted in loss of life, it wasn’t by any means the sole cause.”
