Two men have been locked up following the tragic deaths of a 50-year-old killed in a hit-and-run and a 'cherished' son who died after his 'friend' fled police during a 100mph chase.
Jason Goostrey, 50, was crossing the road in Rochdale when he was hit by a stolen Skoda. Two months later, Simbarashe Prosper Mhepo, 27, was killed after his 'close friend' Alan McDonagh crashed in Heywood after fleeing from police, reaching speeds of more than 100mph.
McDonagh tried to blame Mr Mhepo, a mental health worker who was the front seat passenger, by claiming he'd been driving at the time of the crash, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
McDonagh had been a passenger in the Skoda weeks earlier, with another man named Patrick Doran. Both were sentenced for aggravated vehicle taking, after prosecutors were unable to prove who was driving the Skoda when Mr Goostrey was killed.
