TWO boy-racer BMW drivers who killed a talented 16-year-old girl in a horror crash following a petty disagreement have been locked up.
Alisha Goup, 16, was hit by Omar Choudhury after he mounted the pavement.
The 22-year-old had been travelling at 66mph in a 30mph zone shortly before the smash, on Rochdale Road in February. He had been trying to overtake a car on the wrong side of the road, before clipping another vehicle and losing control.
Alisha was hit as she was walking to college on the pavement. Shortly before the fatal crash, Choudhury was being chased by Hamidur Rahman, 24, a member of his extended family who he had a disagreement with.
Prosecutors said Rahman blamed Choudhury for informing his family about a relationship he was having with a woman, of which her family disapproved.
The pair both admitted driving dangerously, but denied causing the death of Alisha.
