Smirking driver jailed after horror smash that nearly killed him and his friend

Shocking footage shows the moment a dangerous driver behind the wheel of a speeding Audi RS3 smashed into a wall, almost killing himself and his friend.

The CCTV pictures captured Tabish Khan, 23, speeding through the streets of Bradford at an estimated 100mph, in a car he was supposedly test driving, before hitting a wall, causing the car to dramatically burst into flames upon impact.

Khan was jailed at Bradford Crown Court on Friday, June 25, where a judge branded their antics “far too serious” to not result in a custodial sentence, reports YorkshireLive.

Judge Burn heard the Audi, another dark coloured car and two VW Golf vehicles had been part of a convoy that had been racing around city centre roads at around midnight on February 21 last year.

Khan and his friend Mohammed Shah were both unconscious following the crash, which was quickly attended by emergency services.

A police officer, who witnessed the cars when he was parked up at the side of the road with a speed camera device, estimated the cars were travelling at speeds of more than 100mph as they approached him. CCTV taken from the time shows the Audi, driven by Khan, veering onto the wrong side of the road before losing control on the bend.

A police car can be seen in close pursuit of the vehicles and, speaking at a sentencing hearing on Friday, prosecutor Richard Walters said the officer came across a scene of "carnage". The Audi's engine had been ripped out of the car and was left burning on the road six feet away.

Khan and his friend, Mohammed Shah, were both unconscious in the written-off Audi and the officers used a fire
