Stanstead Airport valet worker jailed after killing elderly woman driving customers car
He'll spend over two years behind bars for two offences
A Stanstead Airport valet parking worker has been jailed for two years after he killed an elderly woman while driving a customers car.
At approximately 3.20pm on Monday 26 September 2022, Naeem Shahani was driving a customer’s Range Rover to Stansted airport when he was involved in a collision on Parsonage Road, Takeley.
Shahani lost control on a bend of the road and collided with a Mitsubishi Shogun travelling in the opposite direction.
The other driver spent almost two weeks in hospital after she sustained multiple injuries.
Sadly, front seat passenger, 84 year old Phyllis Willis, died at the scene.
Shahani was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and serious injury by dangerous driving.
He pleaded not guilty to the offences and elected to stand trial.
He was found guilty of both offences at the conclusion of a five-day long trial at Chelmsford Crown Court on Friday 25 October.
Naeem Shahani of Sheppey Road, Dagenham, was jailed for two years four months and disqualified from driving for more than six years at Chelmsford Crown Court today (Thursday 28 November).
Alongside his six years and four months driving ban, the 39-year-old was ordered to take an extended driving re-test.
