Overview

• Anayat Ur‑Rehman, 26, was sentenced at Worcester Crown Court to eight years and eight months for causing death by dangerous driving, with a concurrent three‑year term for serious injury and a nine‑year driving ban.
• He admitted causing the crash after undertaking a Ford Fiesta at speed on the A456 Hagley Causeway between Hagley and Halesowen.
• The impact sent the Fiesta over the central reservation into the Hudson family’s Audi in a five‑vehicle collision.
• Abigail Hudson, 40, died at the scene, and her younger daughter, then 10, suffered a fractured skull and a brain bleed with life‑long effects.
• Newly shared police bodycam footage shows Ur‑Rehman being arrested at the roadside, as victim statements were read in court and West Mercia Police welcomed the sentence.
