Athif Faiz left dying mother-of-three and fled scene of crash, court told<\/h3>\n
\"\"A 24 YEAR old man has been jailed for three years for knocking down and killing a mother-of-three before fleeing the scene.<\/strong> <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Athif Faiz, of Leeds Road, Nelson, was driving at excessive speeds before he ploughed into 33-year-old Amanda Bailey in February. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving in June and was also disqualified from driving for five years. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Another man, Mohammed Tehseen Zaman, 19, also of Leeds Road was sentenced to 16 months in a young offenders’ institution after pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The court was told Ms Bailey, a mother of three, was struck by Faiz\u2019s Vauxhall Astra as she crossed Leeds Road, Nelson, Lancashire on February 11 this year. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Faiz, who was said it court to have been \u201ctravelling at excess speed\u201d, failed to stop after the collision and fled the scene. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Ms Bailey suffered serious injuries and was rushed to Royal Blackburn Hospital where she died. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A post mortem examination showed she died of multiple injuries. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Detective Inspector Pete Broome, from Lancashire Constabulary\u2019s Force Major Investigation Team, said: “Faiz’s actions that night led to the death of a young woman who had so much to live for. His actions have not only left three young children without a mother, but a mother and father without their much loved daughter.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“This case highlights the stupidity of reckless, break-neck speeding, which played a huge part in this tragic incident. The terrible consequences of this collision should serve as a strong warning to people not to do this.<\/div>\n
