A UK court has jailed Harinderpal Athwal, a 41-year-old Uber Eats driver, for more than 11 years after he rammed his car into a couple walking hand-in-hand in Birmingham, killing the husband and leaving the wife with life-changing injuries.
The incident took place on Soho Road in Birmingham on December 16 last year, just days before Christmas.
According to West Midlands Police, Athwal was driving a Vauxhall Corsa when he suddenly swerved into oncoming traffic, mounted the pavement and hit the couple without slowing down.
CCTV showed driver reversing over victim
Investigators told the court that CCTV footage captured a shocking sequence after the initial collision.
Police said Athwal reversed away from the injured man, then drove forward again, hitting him a second time before fleeing the scene.
