"It was the blue Audi that collided with the mother's car. We say that the drivers of both cars are responsible," prosecutor Robert Price, opening the case at Wolverhampton Crown Court earlier this week, said. Mother Arathi Nahar, who was behind the wheels, told the court that she had “no chance” of avoiding the deadly collision as her car was “propelled” onto the pavement and hurtled into metal railings.
The court heard that Nahar was travelling back home with elder son Sanjay in the front passenger seat and younger son—due to celebrate his second birthday just nine days before he died—sitting at the back of the white BMW. “It was an act of sheer madness,” Nahar, who was seriously injured in the crash, told the court.

A police investigation later established the Audi, was racing at 92mph and Shahid's Bentley at 72mph just 110m, just before the crash. Mohammed Sullaiman Khan is said to have fled the scene “quickly” after the collision.
