Monday, 27 June 2016 12:00

A man who drove at speeds of over 140mph has been jailed for a fatal hit and run collision in Isleworth.

Farhan Ali, 30 of Cole Gardens, Hounslow was jailed for six-and-a-half years at Isleworth Crown Court for causing death by dangerous driving.

A second count of dangerous driving post-collision was also to lie on file.

Ali was also sentenced to an extended four years prison sentence should he commit any further offences when released on licence and was disqualified from driving for 10 years with an extended retest, licence endorsed and victim surcharge of £120.

Just before 05:00hrs on Sunday, 8 February, police were called to the scene of a road traffic collision on the A4 Great West Road, near the junction with Wood Lane, Osterley.

Officers attended and established that a blue BMW had been in collision with a male pedestrian. The collision happened on the westbound carriageway and the BMW failed to stop.

Ali was arrested on Monday, 9 February after handing himself at a west London police station. He was charged the following day with causing death by dangerous driving.

Only four days later, Ali was arrested and charged with another offence of dangerous driving having achieved speeds in excess of 140 mph on the M40. For this offence he received 12 months imprisonment in March earlier this year at Aylesbury Crown Court.
