'The family will one day have to tell her child why mummy is not coming back, ever'
Two men have been jailed for more than 20 years after the death of a young mum in a car crash. During a police pursuit the Vauxhall Vectra the victim was a passenger in reached speeds of 81 mph. Six people were in the Vectra when it smashed into a garden wall. The man behind the wheel of the car and his 'gears man' have now both been convicted, reports Yorkshire Live. Jordan Spalding, 23, of Wharncliffe Crescent admitted causing death by dangerous driving and Shakeel Ahmed, 29, of Moresby Road, who is smirking in his police mugshot, admitted aiding and abetting in the causation of death by dangerous driving following the horror crash in Baildon, near Bradford. READ MORE: M&S gives update after shoppers spot change to store's Sparks card following cyber attack READ MORE: Northern Lights could light up UK skies tonight as Met Office forecasts 'enhanced aurora' Bradford Crown Court had heard 18-year-old Amber Deakin was one of six young people in the Vectra before the collision happened in Baildon Road at around midnight on January 3, 2023. Spalding had been the driver and Ahmed had been changing the gears, the court was told. A police car had been alerted to the speeding vehicle on Bingley Bypass and officers began a pursuit. The car - while reaching speeds of up to 81mph - was driving on the wrong side of the road, eventually crashing into a kerb and garden wall, the BBC reports. The car flipped over before Ahmed fled the scene leaving Spalding and Ms Deakin trapped inside. Firefighters cut Spalding out but Ms Deakin, a mother to a young son, was tragically declared dead at the scene. In a victim statement read out to the court, Ms Deakin's mother, Hayley Norton, described the "emptiness" and admitted 'every day is a struggle." Spalding was sentenced to 9 years and 10 months in prison and Ahmed was sentenced to 11 years and 1 month in prison. The Recorder of Bradford, His Honour Jonathan Rose, said Ms Deakin's life had been "stolen" by Spalding and Ahmed. He added: "The family will one day have to tell her child why mummy is not coming back, ever." In November last year, Spalding entered a guilty plea to causing death by dangerous driving. Ahmed was originally due to face trial but admitted his charge in February this year Detective Constable Lindsey Pickles from the Major Collision Enquiry Team said: "The actions of Spalding and Ahmed were simply reckless and stupid. They showed no regard for the law, the passengers who were in the vehicle or other road users. 'Amber was a young mum who had her whole life ahead of her. Her child will grow up without knowing her. This is the stark reality of the consequences of driving dangerously on the roads, her death could have been avoided. Whilst Ahmed was not the driver, we welcome his sentence, he encouraged the dangerous driving as seen in the snapchat footage. 'The sentence today will never bring Amber back to her family, I hope it goes some way in providing comfort knowing that justice has been served.'

Two jailed over young mum's car crash death
Two men who admitted causing the death of an 18-year-old mother in a car crash have been jailed for a total of more than 20 years. At Bradford Crown Court on Friday, Jordan Spalding, 24, was told he must serve nine years and 10 months in prison for causing the death by dangerous driving of Amber Deakin in Bradford in January 2023. Spalding had earlier admitted being behind the wheel of the Vauxhall Vectra in which Ms Deakin was a back-seat passenger. Shakeel Ahmed, 28, a front-seat passenger in the same vehicle, and who was operating the car's gears, was jailed for 11 years and one month for aiding and abetting Ms Deakin's death by dangerous driving. Both men were also disqualified from driving for 10 years. The court had earlier heard that Ms Deakin was one of six young people in the Vauxhall Vectra before the crash happened on Baildon Road, near Pasture Road, at about 23:50 GMT on 3 January 2023. The Vectra had been driven past a police car on Bingley Bypass and after Spalding failed to stop when requested, officers began a pursuit with the car's siren sounding and its blue lights on. Spalding reaching speeds of up to 81mph (130 km/h) as he fled, driving on the wrong side of the road and veering into the path of an oncoming vehicle. Despite pleas from the other passengers, including Ms Deakin, to stop and let them out, Spalding and Ahmed continued driving towards Baildon, then back towards Shipley, before Spalding lost control of the car as he drove it around a bend. The court heard that the vehicle then hit a kerb and a garden wall before flipping onto its side. Ahmed fled the scene and some of the other passengers managed to get out of the vehicle, but Ms Deakin and Spalding were left trapped inside. Spalding was eventually cut free by firefighters, but Ms Deakin, who was the mother of a young son, was found to be unresponsive and was declared dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination revealed Ms Deakin had suffered a "blunt force" injury to her right temple and a fractured arm and she was most probably not wearing a seatbelt, although that could not be proved conclusively, Bradford Crown Court was told. The Recorder of Bradford, His Honour Jonathan Rose, said Ms Deakin's life had been "stolen" by Spalding and Ahmed. "The family will one day have to tell her child why mummy is not coming back, ever," he said. In a victim statement read out to the court, Ms Deakin's mother, Hayley Norton, described the "emptiness" she now felt as "overwhelming". "Since that tragic day, my life has been filled with unbearable sorrow. Every day is a struggle," she said. In November last year, Spalding, of Wharncliffe Crescent, entered a guilty plea to causing death by dangerous driving. Ahmed, of Moresby Road, was originally due to face trial, but admitted his charge in February this year. Recorder Rose explained that due to Spalding's early plea he had, by law, to reduce his original sentence by a third, but Ahmed's would only be cut by a quarter due to his delay in admitting guilt. The judge ordered that Spalding, who only had a provisional driving licence at the time of the crash, should take an extended driving test before being allowed back onto the roads once he was released. Both were given extended licence conditions upon their release of four years and 11 months for Spalding and five years six months for Ahmed. Speaking after the sentencing, Det Con Lindsey Pickles, from West Yorkshire Police's Major Collision Inquiry Team, described the actions of Spalding and Ahmed as "simply reckless and stupid". "They showed no regard for the law, the passengers who were in the vehicle or other road users," Det Con Pickles said. "Amber was a young mum who had her whole life ahead of her. Her child will grow up without knowing her. "This is the stark reality of the consequences of driving dangerously on the roads. Her death could have been avoided."
