A banned driver has been jailed for causing devastating injuries to a driving instructor and his pupil in a Leeds crash.
Adnan Ghafoor was jailed for three years and seven months after Leeds Crown Court heard the driving instructor had to undergo a six hour operation for fractures to his wrist, shoulder and nose. He also suffered a rupture to his abdomen and a cut to his liver. His pupil suffered serious injuries to her knees in the crash and as a result has had to give up her dream of becoming a yoga teacher.
23 year old Ghafoor was disqualified from driving at the time of the crash which happened on Butcher Hill, West Park Leeds on February 14th last year. A witness told Police Ghafoor had been driving "like an idiot" shortly before the accident.
Ghafoor of Burley Lodge Terrace, Burley pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving while disqualified.
