Can't see any skid marks? the force of the impact and change of direction on both cars should have left some marks on the road.

Running away from the scene says it all! :dopey:
 
None of the photos i've seen online of the accident are of a good enough quality to make out any skid marks, although pics in the Sheffield Star newspaper looked to show some tyre marks on the 'crash point' itself - but accidents at this blind spot are frequent, and these could be from a previous incident. Chances are that since the crash occured just after a crest in the road, perhaps neither car had chance to apply their brakes much before the impact.
 
Since this incident has been mentioned in the 'Idiot crashes Enzo' thread i thought i'd update this older one with todays news...

Naz faces jail threat
WORLD boxing legend 'Prince' Naseem Hamed has been told he could face jail after pleading guilty suddenly this morning to dangerous driving.
The 32-year-old was banned from the roads until at least May, when he will be sentenced for his involvement in a horror crash which left a Sheffield man fighting for his life.
The former featherweight champ unexpectedly entered a guilty plea this morning, to a packed courtroom at Sheffield Crown Court.
Naz - wearing a grey knee-length jacket - spoke only to confirm his name and his guilty plea.
He was given conditional bail and told not to get behind the wheel of another vehicle until he is sentenced on May 12.
The Recorder of Sheffield Judge Alan Goldsack QC told him he would be given credit for his guilty plea - but warned him the fact he was given bail was not an indication he would not be jailed.
The £20 million Sheffield-born star, of Wyvern Gardens, Dore, was arrested last year after his £313,000 sports car with personalised number plate was involved in a crash with two other vehicles.
The three-seater Mercedes SLR crashed head-on with a VW Golf travelling in the opposite direction on Ringinglow Road in Sheffield last May.
Parts of the Mercedes and the VW Golf were strewn for 50 yards along the road between Wigley Farm and Firs Farm.
The driver of the Golf - Anthony Burgin, of Hill Top, near Bents Green - was airlifted to hospital, underwent surgery, and spent time in intensive care.
The court heard the 39-year-old underwent yet another operation on his injuries yesterday, and so was unable to attend today's hearing.
But the court was told he was hoping to be well enough to attend court in May to see Naz sentenced.
Mr Burgin's family laughed out loud from the crowded public gallery as Naseem's barrister Martin Sharpe asked the court not to impose a driving ban between now and the sentencing. He said: "He has a number of commitments in the interim which require him to drive, not for his own benefit - for charity."
But, imposing a ban, the judge replied: "He can perhaps afford a chauffeur if he needs it."
The case was adjourned for pre-sentence reports.
Naseem's wife Eleasha is expecting a baby in the summer.
The couple have two sons - Sami Naseem, seven, and Aadam, five.
The boxer, who first climbed into the ring as a boy at Brendan Ingle's gym in Wincobank and was awarded an MBE in 1999, has said he is planning a career comeback.
Mr Ingle, who guided Naz to his early boxing success, said today: "Everybody, no matter who they are, has to suffer the consequences if they do something wrong.
"When you are a teenager, sometimes things happen, but when you become an adult you are responsible for your own actions.
"If Naz was driving dangerously, which he has pleaded guilty to, he has to take the consequences."

I wasn't aware that the SLR was a 3-seater?????
 
They probably got confused with the McLaren F1.

If I was the man I'd let it go ONLY if he Naseem buys an SLR for me (and all the options). :lol:
 
If the mans lifestyles hasnt been affected permantely a million pounds would be enough for me to let him off the hook.

...and pays for the insurance, maintenance, and repairs. Supercars are not cheap to own. Hell, the oil in the Enzo costs $60/quart, and takes 12 quarts. That's $720 just for an oil change, which it needs fairly often.

I'd just make him cough up some British pounds. They're worth a fortune here in the States :)

Maybe Naseem cut the golf off and the golf ran him down!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::sly:
 
It would be quite interesting to know what exactly happened out there? Good to know no-one was hurt, especially from the Golf which looks to be in pretty bad shape.

You mean the owner of the Golf who 'was airlifted to hospital, underwent surgery, and spent time in intensive care.'?
 
Apologies. What i meant was it is very fortunate that there were no fatalities given the mangled state of the Golf. Also from the description of what happened to those in the Golf on the BBC website - they made it out not to have been too bad with no mention of surgery or intensive care.
 
No problem 👍 - i've not seen the BBC report, but since i'm local to where it happened i've took a keen interest in the procedings.
 
Just heard on the news that he has got 15 months jail time for this 👍

- Should have been longer with a permentant ban IMO

This happened before months ago, or last year guys.

Err, yes..., but the driver got the charge very recently, hence why this thread was revived.

I agree he should have got a much harsher penality. He's destroyed the Golf driver's life. There isn't a much worse thing you can do.
 
Yep, he's been given jail time, and well deserved jail time at that.
 
Wow great he got jail time, over here he probably would have got a suspended sentence at best.
 
I don't think 15 months is enough. Overtaking coming up to a blind crest at 90+mph is incredibly dangerous. He's lucky he didn't kill anyone.
 
He is lucky he didn't kill the couple in the other car, although the crash did leave them with severe injuries, including breaking every major bone in the man's body.

I have no sympathy for Naseem whatsoever, he deserves to go to jail for reckless driving.

And not only that, he hasn't half put on a bit of lard as well... I suppose 15 months at Her Magesty's pleasure will sort that out...

Before pies, and after ---->
 
and I wonder when people will stop calling SLR as supercar, since it isn't one.. it's a GT car. big, heavy, luxurious and ridiculously priced. like Bugatti. what I say is, that everyone who buys , let's say, 400bhp+ car from a dealership should take part on driving lessons as a part of the deal, otherwise, no car.
 
I am so glad he finially got sentenced for this..... good to see these people not get away with things just because of thier status...... the ban was was too short, he killed someone! should be a lifetime ban!
 
No one died, one guy borke a hell of a lot of bone's, he injured people, but no one died.
