A 28-year-old man from Hayes has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and causing serious injury by dangerous driving following a fatal collision on the M4 in Hillingdon.
Maninder Singh Brar, from Hayes, entered the guilty pleas at Isleworth Crown Court las Wednesday (15 July). The charges relate to a serious road traffic collision that occurred on the M4 in Hillingdon, where police were called at 11:37pm to reports of a serious incident.
The occupants of a white VW Golf were treated at the scene by paramedics, but despite their efforts, two passengers, Mohammad Hagila, 63, and Dil Jan, 62, sadly lost their lives. A third person, a 29-year-old man, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Brar pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter, two counts of causing death whilst uninsured, causing serious injury by dangerous driving, handling stolen goods, and failing to stop following the collision.
Acting Detective Inspector Fiaz Janjua, who is leading the Met’s investigation, said: “This is a truly tragic case in which two innocent members of the public have lost their lives.
“Our deepest sympathies and support remain with the family of Mohammed and Dil Jan, who have suffered an unimaginable loss. Our thoughts are with them as they face this incredibly painful and difficult time.
“The fact Brar has now pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter reflects the seriousness of his actions and the devastating consequences they had for those involved.
“This case serves as a reminder of the severe consequences that dangerous driving can have and the profound, lasting harm it can cause to innocent road users, their families and the wider community.”
He will be sentenced at the same court on Wednesday, 23 September.
