Birmingham car crash latest: Two more victims of multiple-vehicle collision named

Kasar Jehangir, 25, and Mohammed Fasha, 30, latest confirmed dead after major road accident

Two more victims have been named from the major car crash in Birmingham that left six people dead.

Kasar Jehangir, 25, and Mohammed Fasha, 30, are understood to have been travelling in the Audi S3 with Tauweer Hussain, who was also killed in the crash. A 22-year-old man, who was also in the car, was seriously injured.

The Audi ploughed into a taxi on Birmingham’s Lee Bank Middleway in the early hours of Sunday, leaving it smashed on its side. Taxi driver Imtiaz Mohammed, a father of six, was killed in the collision, along with a 42-year-old-man and a 43-year-old woman.

It has been reported that Mr Jehangir was arrested in July of last year following a 120mph chase with police, in which the occupants of his car threw heroin from the vehicle’s windows. The Times reports Mr Jehangir had been jailed after the incident but was later released on home detention curfew.

Mr Jehangir had reportedly pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and possession with intent to supply.

One local resident told the Daily Mail that young drivers use the stretch of road where the crash happened as a “racetrack”.

“People know that the camera on the McDonald’s side of the road does not work so they go at whatever speed they like. It’s common to see cars racing each other along here,” they said.

West Midlands police superintendent Sean Phillips said at a press conference on Sunday: “It’s a harrowing scene. There are families involved, these are real people involved. It is very distressing for everyone.” He said it was too early to speculate on the cause of the accident.

Mr Mohammed's younger brother Noorshad Mohammed said his sibling rang his wife Nargas Gul to tell her he would be coming home just before the crash. It would be the last time they spoke.

The 32-year-old said: “It was his last job of the night. That was the last time she spoke to him."

Surrounded by the 33-year-old's other relatives at the family home, father Ikhtiar Mohammed recalled how his “heart sank” as police knocked on his door at 5am on Sunday.

The 65-year-old said: “I knew there was something wrong, as soon as I saw them.

“I thought to myself, 'which of my sons is hurt', I just knew something was seriously wrong.”

Older sister Nassrin Bibi paid tribute to her brother and said the family had been “shattered” by what had happened.

Mr Mohammed worked for local firm Castle Cars, which said in a statement: “Imtiaz was a wonderful, young, hard-working family man”, who was “loved and respected by all”.

A London black cab driver has launched an appeal to raise money for Mr Mohammed’s family.

Andy Davies has set up a JustGiving page for the family and has raised more than £1,300 since setting it up a day ago.

He wrote on the page: “Mr Mohammed worked as a licensed cab driver in Birmingham … he was involved in a fatal accident leaving a family including six children without their carer and provider,” Mr Davies wrote.

“The money we raise won’t bring him back but will give his family help at this difficult time.

“There are 27,000 London cabbies, lets show our support and give what we can.”
