Man jailed for Bradford speeding and road crash

MOHAMMED ABBAS, 27, of Richmond Road in Huddersfield area was sentenced jail for three years for causing a woman's death by dangerous driving.

Isma Nawaz was 38 when she died following a collision in Apperley Bridge on 23 June 2020.


The parents of Nawaz of Bradford paid tribute to their daughter after the man responsible for causing her death pleaded guilty at Bradford Crown Court. Apart from the jail sentence, Abbas has been banned from driving for five and a half years.

Detective Sergeant Paul Lightowler, who led the investigation into the crash, said: “This case should serve as a reminder to all about the devastating consequences of driving dangerously on our roads.

“No sentence can ever compensate for the grief and upset experienced by family and friends at the sudden, needless and tragic loss of Mrs Nawaz and our sympathies remain with them at this sad time.”

Online gamblers spending £1,000 a day to face new UK checks

  • Gamblers spending more than £1,000 in 24 hours could face financial risk assessments.
  • Regulator says the checks are not affordability tests and will not affect credit scores.
  • Betting industry warns the changes could push customers towards illegal gambling sites.

Online gambling customers in the UK who spend large sums in a short period could soon face financial risk assessments, under new rules announced by the Gambling Commission. The regulator says the changes are aimed at identifying customers who may be experiencing financial hardship, while the betting industry argues they could drive gamblers towards unregulated operators.

Under the new framework, customers spending more than £1,000 within a 24-hour period or £3,000 over a rolling 90-day period will be eligible for enhanced financial risk assessments. Lower thresholds will apply to gamblers aged under 25, with checks beginning at £750 in 24 hours once the system is fully introduced.
