The driver of a Range Rover lost control and ploughed into a phone mast, killing his front seat passenger, after ‘racing’ with an Audi along a main road.

Danyal Ul-Haq, 23, died while a passenger in a blue Range Rover Sport, driven by his cousin Hassnain Ul-Haq. Another relative in the car, Sameer Ul-Haq, suffered serious injuries.

Manchester Crown Court heard that Hassnain Ul-Haq, from Oldham, had been ‘racing’ an Audi driven by Hamza Hussain. Hussain had never passed a driving test.

Both cars had been driving at more than double the 30mph speed limit before the Range Rover lost control, on July 12, 2022.
