Feuding drivers overtook each other at high speeds in Oldham, Greater Manchester, on February 23 before causing the death of a “selfless” 16-year-old girl.

Newly-released footage shows Omar Choudhury, 22, and Hamidur Rahman, 24, both from Oldham, driving erratically at high speeds and engaging in a “threatening confrontation” with each other involving a weapon.

Choudhury reached 66pmh in a 30mph zone, mounted the pavement after hitting a car and struck Alisha Goup, who died at the scene.

Choudhury and Rahman were sentenced to 14 years imprisonment for causing death by dangerous driving.
