A man, Bilal Tahir, is jailed for 15 years after a crash on the M20 motorway in Kent in torrential rain. Police state that while driving a BMW X5, Tahir hit speeds of around 100 mph and collided with pedestrians who were standing on the hard shoulder. The collision involves three people on the shoulder, and two women die as a result of the incident. The reporting also says Tahir lied to police about his speed during the investigation. The sentencing reflects the court’s assessment of the seriousness of the offences connected to the crash and the circumstances, including the high speed and the dangerous weather conditions at the time. The case highlights the consequences for people on or near motorway hard shoulders and the legal response to driving offences where fatalities occur.
