Man jailed for killing daughter in crash

A man has been jailed after his daughter died following a high speed collision.

Chizoro Edohasim has been sent to prison for four years and disqualified from driving for five years after being found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

Nine year old Olivia Edohasim was killed when the Toyota Auris they were in hit a wall on Manchester Road at the junction with Stamford Brook Road on Satuday 7th May 2016.

Sergeant Brian Orr of GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit said:

“This was a very tragic case, this family have been ripped apart by the stupidity of their father and his little girl has lost her life due to his dangerous driving.

“He will have to live with that guilt for the rest of his life, knowing that he killed his own daughter. There really are no winners in this case.

“Prison is the lesser of the punishments that Edohasim will suffer. This tragic incident shows that we will always bring those who gamble with peoples’ lives by driving dangerously, to justice.”
