Smethwick: A tragic incident has unfolded involving a two-year-old boy. Sharjeel Shahzad, the driver, has admitted to causing the boy’s death through careless driving. However, he insists his driving wasn’t dangerous at the time of the crash.
The crash happened in December when Shehbaz Singh was a passenger in a Toyota Auris. After the collision, he and four adults were rushed to the hospital, but sadly, he didn’t make it.
Shahzad, who is 30 and from Great Barr, is set to face trial in July at Wolverhampton Crown Court. He pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving but not to the more serious charge of dangerous driving.
In addition to the charges related to the crash, he also admitted to driving without insurance and not having a proper license. It’s a tough situation, and the judge has made it clear that the trial will proceed, with Shahzad currently in custody.
It’s a heartbreaking case, and everyone is waiting to see how it unfolds in court. The community is shaken, and thoughts are with the family of the little boy.
