Driver Jailed for Killing Mother and Daughter in High-Speed Crash

A man who killed a mother and daughter in a high-speed crash in Birmingham has been jailed for over 13 years.

Mohammed Ibrahim, 25, was sentenced to 13 years and three months in prison at Birmingham Crown Court today (Wednesday) after pleading guilty in May to causing the deaths of Amanda Riley, 49, and Linda Philips, 72, on Boxing Day last year.

The fatal collision happened on Meadway, at the junction with Kitt’s Green Road in Shard End. Ibrahim had been driving his BMW 420D at speeds between 80 and 84mph in a 30mph zone when he crashed, killing both women and seriously injuring three others.

Ibrahim fled the scene but later presented himself at a hospital, where he was arrested. He admitted two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

He was remanded in custody following his plea and was sentenced today.

Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, from the West Midlands Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said:

“Amanda and Linda tragically lost their lives, and others were injured due to the selfishness and dangerous driving of Ibrahim.

“He made no attempt to help anyone and ran off, rather than face up to what he’d done, but we managed to quickly identify and arrest him.

“This incident has devastated a family who we have continued to support during these tragic times. Nothing will ever bring Amanda or Linda back, but we hope that this sentencing will provide the family with a sense of justice.”
