Maya Hirani has been sentenced to six years and nine months in prison after being convicted of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop following a fatal road collision.

The sentence was handed down at Woolwich Crown Court, where the court found Hirani guilty of driving dangerously, resulting in the loss of a person's life. Prosecutors said the defendant failed to stop at the scene after the collision, leading to additional charges.

The judge described the incident as a tragic and avoidable loss of life, emphasizing the serious consequences of reckless driving and the responsibility of motorists to remain at the scene of an accident and assist emergency services.

Police welcomed the court's decision, stating that the sentence reflects the gravity of the offences and serves as a reminder that dangerous driving can have devastating consequences for victims, their families, and the wider community.
