THE moment a car struck the back of a quad bike killing its teenage passenger was today watched by a murder trial jury at Bradford Crown Court.

Rahees Mahmood, 18, died when a silver Ford Focus driven by Jordan Glover collided with the rear of the red bike he was travelling on along Broadstone Way, Holme Wood, Bradford, at 4.08pm on June 3 last year.

It is alleged by the prosecution that the bike, driven by 19-year-old Tommy-Lee Haigh, was deliberately driven off the road during ‘a hot pursuit.’

Glover, 24, from the Thorpe Edge area of Bradford, pleads not guilty to murder; manslaughter as an alternative count; causing grievous bodily harm with intent and criminal damage. He admits causing death by dangerous driving.

This morning, the jury watched a series of CCTV clips of vehicles moving about in the area before the collision.

A close-up image of the quad bike appears to show Mr Mahmood riding on the back of it with a pitchfork in his left hand.

The bike is seen travelling down Broadstone Way with the Focus closing the gap between the two vehicles.

The car is caught on camera making contact with the rear end of the bike. Its suspension lifts in the air as it collides with the quad which crashes into a wall.

The jury heard that the car did not stop after the collision.

Prosecutor Jason Pitter QC has told the jury that Mr Mahmood died from catastrophic and unsurvivable injuries. Mr Haigh, 19, was hospitalised with multiple fractures.

Mr Pitter said that shortly before the fatal collision a Volkswagen Golf was rammed by a Nissan Terrano causing extensive damage. The Terrano was later set on fire and burnt out.

Glover, who was arrested from his home address four days’ later, told the police he had been threatened by men armed with machetes and had moved away from the estate.

He became aware that the men on board the quad bike were armed. He feared that he would be hurt or killed and he was also fearful for those in the street, including children.

He acted to drive the people on the quad bike away from the street and then panicked after making contact with the machine.

The trial continues.
