Road rage drivers from rival families caused crash as they rammed each other in busy Leeds road on way home from cemetery

Sajid Majeed and Mohammed Safraz were found guilty of dangerous driving and criminal damage over the incident in Harehills.

Leeds Crown Court heard the crash happened on May 10, 2020, after both defendants had been to Harehills Cemetery.

John Hobley, prosecuting, said Majeed was driving an Audi and Safraz was in a VW Golf.

The prosecutor said CCTV footage captured both vehicles driving in the opposite direction to each other shortly before the incident.

After passing each other Sarfraz stopped and reversed his car into a side road.

Majeed continued in the same direction for a short distance before turning around and driving back towards the direction of where Sarfraz had parked.

Moments later Sarfraz pulled out of the side road and rammed Majeed's vehicle.

Mr Hobley said Majeed's car spun around so the defendants were side by side, with Sarfraz's car on the wrong side of the road.

The prosecutor said Majeed then "nudged" his rival's car and caused it to hit another car travelling along the road.

The collision caused £1,900 worth of damage to the other vehicle, which was not connected to the dispute between the two defendants.
