The grieving family of one of the three teenagers killed in a horror head-on car crash has said their world is “shattered” due to an “emptiness he has left” in a heartbreaking tribute.
Mohammed-Danyaal Asghar-Ali, 19, was a back seat passenger in the Seat Leon that hit a Citroen C4 Picasso taxi on Wigan Road in Bolton on Sunday, January 11. He died alongside Mohammed Jibrael Mukhtar, 18, the alleged driver and passenger Farhan Imtiyaz Patel, 18.
The horrific incident also killed taxi driver Masrob Ali as well as injuring two men and women in the taxi and another 18-year-old in the Seat. In a tribute issued by Greater Manchester Police Danyaal’s family gave their condolences ‘to all the families who have lost a precious loved one’.
Danyaal’s mum and dad said: “Danyaal was my heart, my soul, my everything. He was the one who taught me how to be a mother, my first born, my baby. I can’t express the emptiness he has left inside me. I keep having to remind myself that I will never see his smile, never hear his laugh, never get to hug him ever again.
“Danyaal was such a good boy; he gave love and respect to everyone. He never failed to put a smile on anyone’s face. He was and always will be deeply loved by all. He was his dad’s best friend, and this tragedy has left his dad broken.
“I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone. Every pain has a word which can describe it but the pain of losing a child, there is no word for it. Our world has been shattered; it will never be the same again. His siblings have lost their older brother, the brother who was so protective and loving.
“He will never be forgotten; we will always keep his loving, caring memories alive.
“My condolences to all the families who have lost a precious loved one, and my deepest sympathy goes out to all the people injured in the horrific tragedy – I too feel your pain, as I have lost my innocent boy who sat in the back of that car not knowing he will never see us again. My Danyaal, forever 19, you will never be forgotten.”
Hi sister also paid tribute to her ‘best friend’. “Danyaal had this incredible gift for making any room brighter the moment he walked in,” she said.
“His smile alone could change the atmosphere. He was always the best big brother, a constant presence through everything, never leaving my side when I felt alone.
“Everyone who met Danyaal seemed to fall in love with him instantly; he had a way of carrying himself that drew people in.”
Danyaal’s other sister added: “My brother was someone who left a positive mark wherever he went. He respected everyone, no matter who they were, and helped people in ways that changed their lives. Even the dullest room would feel brighter when he walked in. He was always joking and laughing, and somehow his laugh was funnier than the joke itself. His smile was my favourite.”
