Zoltan Lakatos, who had been speeding at up to 90mph on 30mph roads, sped off after he crashed into delivery driver Aqeel Akhtar
A 'dangerous and reckless' speeding motorist has been jailed for a hit-and-run smash which claimed the life of a community leader.
The crash at around 9pm on Saturday January 28, 2023, had involved three vehicles and the police investigation established that Lokatos had been driving well above the 30mph speed limit before he struck the Touran, which was turning right from Wordsworth Road onto Halliwell Road. After the hearing, PC John Loxham said: "Firstly, my thoughts are with the family of Aqeel at this sad time. They have gone through a great loss over these past few months, and hopefully this sentence starts to bring some form of closure.
In a tribute following his death, Mr Akhtar's family called him a 'respectful and deeply religious' man who will be remembered for his charity and community work, and that he will be 'sorely missed'.
