Terrifying footage shows arrogant BMW drivers using streets 'as a race track' before horror crash which killed teenager

Terrifying footage shows two arrogant BMW drivers using the streets of a Greater Manchester town 'as a race track' moments before a 16-year-old girl was killed in a horror crash. Alisha Goup was tragically pronounced dead at the scene on Rochdale Road after Omar Choudhury's BMW 3 series mounted the pavement and hit her as she walked to college in February.

Footage has now released by police which shows the 'irresponsible and catastrophic actions' of the two men responsible for Alisha's death. Omar Choudhury, 22, and Hamidur Rahman, 24, have been jailed for 14 years apiece after being found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving at Minshull Street Crown Court.
