Humaira Batool, 26, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for causing the death of her friend, Mohammed Shaan Hussain, 20, in a high-speed crash on the M62 in West Yorkshire. Batool was driving a rented Lamborghini at speeds up to 143mph in wet conditions when she lost control and hit a barrier, causing the car to flip and burst into flames. Hussain, who was in the passenger seat, died from his injuries. During the trial, Batool attempted to blame Hussain for the crash, claiming he had tampered with the car's controls, but this was rejected by the jury. Judge Ray Singh stated that the crash was a result of Batool's decision to drive at 'extraordinary speed' in dangerous conditions. The victim's family expressed their grief and frustration over the prolonged legal process and the attempt to blame their son for the accident.
