A driver who killed a man riding a mobility scooter as he sped his car down a Wigan road has been jailed for four years.

Hanzah Yusuf lost control of the Vauxhall Zafira as he drove along Poolstock Lane on February 28, 2019 and hit Michael Smith, 53, who was riding his mobility scooter.

Manchester Crown Court heard on Thursday that Mr Smith suffered “severe internal and external trauma” and died a short time later.
