Two men plead guilty to death by dangerous driving after killing pensioner 'during road race'
Two men have pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving after killing an 81-year-old grandmother during a road race in Rowley Regis.
Surinder Kaur died after Arjun Dosanjh, 25, “drove on the wrong side of the road” whilst racing Jacek Wiatrowski, 51, down the Oldbury Road, Rowley Regis, on November 11 last year.
Mrs Kaur had just got off a bus near the junction with Uplands Avenue shortly before 1pm when she was struck by Dosanjh’s car.
Wolverhampton Crown Court yesterday heard heard today (Tuesday) former Polish HGV driver Wiatrowski was driving a BMW 3 Series and Dosanjh was in a Mini Cooper when they began racing on the Oldbury Road.
Prosecutor Abigail Nixon said: “From traffic lights the two men were racing for about 300 metres before Wiatrowski braked and Dosanjh swerved onto to the wrong side of the road, killing Mrs Kaur.”
