Farhan Ali, 30, of Cole Gardens in Hounslow , has been jailed for six-and-a-half years for causing death by dangerous driving in Osterley .

Ali, who drove at speeds of over 140mph, was jailed at Isleworth Crown Court on Friday (June 24). A second count of dangerous driving post-collision was also to lie on file.

Ali was also sentenced to an extended four years prison sentence should he commit any further offences when released on licence, and was disqualified from driving for 10 years with an extended retest, licence endorsed and victim surcharge of £120.

Just before 5am on Sunday February 8, police were called to the scene of a road traffic collision on the A4 Great West Road, near the junction with Wood Lane, Osterley.

Officers attended and established that a blue BMW had been in collision with a male pedestrian. The collision happened on the westbound carriageway and the BMW failed to stop.

The London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance also attended but the man was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 31-year-old Janusz Adam Partyka, who lived locally.

A woman using the name Jan stopped her vehicle at the location and assisted with a call for ambulance and police. Jan indicated that she witnessed the fatal collision and was on her way to the airport to pick up her parents.

Jan also returned to the scene of the collision some days later and left a condolence card.

Ali was arrested on Monday February 9 after handing himself at a west London police station. He was charged the following day with causing death by dangerous driving.

Only four days later, Ali was arrested and charged with another offence of dangerous driving having achieved speeds in excess of 140mph on the M40. For this offence he received 12 months imprisonment on Tuesday March 15 at Aylesbury Crown Court.

"Complete disregard for the safety of other road users"

Detective Sergeant Jeff Edwards, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Ali showed complete disregard for the safety of other road users and his recklessness has caused the death of a much loved man who had everything to live for.

"His excess speeding beggars belief and he rightly deserves a custodial sentence for his crime. I would like to thank DC Andy White and Forensic Collision Investigator Rich Clark for their excellent work.

"Our thoughts are with the family of Janusz who have behaved with the utmost dignity throughout this investigation."
