Woman jailed over 143mph crash ‘unfit for jail’ as ‘can solely eat bag of chips and tea’

Humaira Batool, 26, received a ten-year jail sentence after causing the death of her friend Mohammed Shaan Hussain in a 143mph Lamborghini crash on the M62 in 2022

The family of a woman jailed for causing the death of her friend in a 143mph crash have claimed she is “unfit” for prison due to her allergies and health. On December 21, 2022, Mohammed Shaan Hussain lost his life in a high-speed Lamborghini crash on the M62.

He had hired the vehicle, but it was being driven by his friend, Humaira Batool, 26. At Leeds Crown Court, Batool claimed it was Shaan who had triggered the crash by pressing buttons in the car, causing a speed boost.

However, Batool had in fact been driving at 143mph on the motorway, striking a barrier and flipping the vehicle, causing it to explode.

Shaan was killed while Batool was left with serious injuries. She was handed a ten-year sentence this November, reports Yorkshire Live.

However, due to her allergies and her health, the family claim she is unfit to be in prison as all she “eats is a bag of chips and a cup of green tea”.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, family members raised concerns about her ability to cope behind bars.

Her sister, Maryam Kani Knight, revealed she suffered allergies to meat, sugar, gluten, and soya,

She said: “All she eats is a bag of chips and a cup of green tea. She’s unfit for prison given her mental and physical health. We’re just waiting for a phone call or to hear from her.”

Maryam also revealed that Batool hasn’t been the same person since the crash. She said: “It’s been awful. She really tried to build something for herself after everything that happened. She died on that night.”

Furthermore, she revealed she hadn’t been herself “since the night of the accident” and was suffering from “nightmares”.

Her injuries meant she was unable to get to her feet after the collision and she “can’t sleep at night”.
