Man jailed for killing friend in Sheffield roundabout crash

A man has been jailed for causing the death of a teenager and seriously injuring another boy when the car he was driving crashed into railings on a Sheffield roundabout. Hamza Hussain, 23, of Harney Close in Darnall, was driving a black VW Golf which crashed on the A61 St Mary's Gate roundabout at 01:55 BST on 17 June 2024, Sheffield Crown Court heard. The front-seat passenger, 18-year-old Mohammed Waheed, died in hospital and the 15-year-old rear passenger suffered life-changing injuries. Hussain earlier admitted causing death by dangerous driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving without insurance. He was jailed on Tuesday for five years and four months. Judge Graham Reeds KC told the court that Hussain, who was 21 at the time, was an "inexperienced" driver in a powerful car going "too fast for the road conditions". Before entering the roundabout, at 49mph, the judge said he had been driving at 61mph in a 40mph zone. Police said CCTV showed him speeding at 60mph in 30mph zones elsewhere in Sheffield. After the crash, Hussain fled the scene "leaving his friends injured, unresponsive and close to death in the car". The judge said Hussain returned to the car w
