Drivers in race jailed for killing man

Leeds abattoir worker Vitalijs Rozenbergs had been on his way to start a night shift in the 
early hours when he was struck by a high-performance Audi RS3 sports car being driven at double the 40mph limit by Mohammed Khan during his race with 
Shajah Rehman as they attempted to find out whose car was 
fastest.

The collision in Canal Road, Bradford, in September 2011 left the Latvian with catastrophic injuries and he died at the scene.

Yesterday 25-year-old Khan, of Amberley Street, Bradford, and Rehman, 31, of Rylstone Gardens, Bradford, were jailed at the city’s crown court after they admitted causing Mr Rozenbergs’s death by dangerous driving.

Khan was given 43 months in jail with an additional five months for having no insurance.

Rehman, who entered his 
guilty plea at a later stage in the proceedings, was jailed for 48 months.

Both men were banned from driving for four years and they must also take extended driving tests at the end of their bans.
