THIS is the terrifying moment two speeding BMWs used the streets “like a race track” before killing a teenager as she walked to college.
Alisha Goup, 16, tragically died in February this year after reckless driver Omar Choudhury, 22, lost control and smashed into her on the pavement.
The court heard of Choudhury was travelling at speeds of 66mph – more than double the limit – as he was being pursued by Hamidur Rahman, 24.
The pair had met that fatal day and began to race through residential streets in Oldham, Greater Manchester, following a “petty disagreement”.
It comes after Rahman had blamed Choudhury for telling his family about a “disapproving” relationship he was in with a woman
And as they sped towards the town centre, Choudhury tried to overtake on the wrong side of the road.
He then collided with a white Ford Fiesta before his blue BMW 3 series mounted the kerb – killing Alisha.
Cops have since released footage of the moments leading up to the horror to show the drivers’ “irresponsible and catastrophic actions”
Shocking scenes shows Choudhury being chased by Rahman – who was in a grey BMW 1 series – narrowly missing other cars on the road.
Midway through the pursuit, Choudhury can then be seen reversing down one busy stretch as a man on foot appears to chase after him with an object.
Moments later, Rahman reverses to follow as motorists try to avoid the horrifying scenes.
Shortly after, Choudhury then made the fatal manoeuvre which saw him lose control, crash into another car and then smash into Alisha.
Showing little remorse, Choudhury attempted to flee the scene.
But extensive damage to his car meant he couldn’t make the getaway.
He was then held by members of the public until police arrived.
Rahman was arrested the next day and both of them were charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
A judge found Choudhury guilty and sentenced him to 14 years in prison.
Rahman had turned off the road just six seconds before the crash.
But he was deemed just as guilty and also sentenced to 14 years due to his “significant involvement” in Alisha’s death.
The teen’s heartbroken family told how it has been “the most difficult time of our lives”.
Speaking from the witness box, Alisha’s younger brother said: “Whenever I was having a tough time she was always there to comfort me.
“She was my best friend and she really cared for me and I really cared for my sister.
“When I go to bed, I keep thinking about all the fun times we had together, I wish we could have those fun times again.
“I cry a lot in bed when I think about my sister, my best friend.
“I wish it was me that died and not my sister.
“The day I found about her passing away, I was devastated and wished I was just having a nightmare.”
Her uncle, Dilip, said her death has changed the family forever.
He added: “No words will truly be enough to express how heartbroken we as a family feel.
“I can only wish no family has to experience this.
“I don’t know what the future holds for us, but I certainly know it is a lot darker than the future we had all once dreamt of.”
Choudhury and Rahman were both were banned from driving for 12 years.
