Two men jailed after 130mph crash kills worker

In Manchester, two men were incarcerated after an accident killed a commuter; they filmed themselves operating a vehicle at speeds up to 130 mph in a zone designated for 30 mph. At Manchester Crown Court, Uways Hussain was sentenced to eleven years and eight months in prison, while Usmon Mahmood received a twelve year and nine-month sentence. The pair had been inhaling nitrous oxide and running red lights before striking with Sylvester Abayomi (50) on Kingsway, leading to his death.
