A Muslim who was fasting for Ramadan ran over and killed a dad-of-eight

Sajid Hussain, 36, nodded off behind the wheel moments before he ploughed into David Hinton, 47, as he strapped his baby into a child car seat.

Mr Hinton’s wife and two of their young children, aged two and five, were treated for minor injuries and shock after the fatal collision.

The youngest child was “thrown into the air” by the impact and was found upside down in the car.

The father was given CPR in Dudley, West Midlands, by local residents who rushed to the scene after hearing the horror smash. David Hinton and his wife Nadine

Judge James Burbridge

His wife Nadine and children Christopher and Oliver were cut free by firefighters after the collision on 2pm on June 20 last year.

Mr Hinton was taken to A&E but tragically died in hospital two days later on June 22.

The court heard Hussain, a postman, had been working since 4.30am that morning and had not eaten since 3.30am because he was fasting for the Islamic holy month Ramadan. The scene in Oakham Road, Dudley, West Midlands, where David Hinton was killed

Hussain was handed an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, after a judge ruled he had shown "genuine remorse".

The postman was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid community work, banned from driving and ordered to retake his test if he wished to regain his licence.

Sentencing, Judge James Burbridge said: "David came back from the house carrying his son Oliver on his shoulders and went around by the rear road-side seat to make sure he was safely seated in the back of his car.

"Nadine was seated in the front passenger seat.

"As he was ensuring Christopher was safely strapped in, Mrs Hinton described there being a bang like an explosion going off.

"The force was such that the Peugeot ended up on the other side of the road and facing the other way round.” Sajid Hussain, leaves his home in Dudley, West Midlands

Judge Burbridge added: ”Mrs Hinton has the trauma of seeing her husband lying face down on the road.

"Mr Hussain was described as standing with his head in his hands, screaming, 'No! No!'

"Witnesses driving behind said Mr Hussain's break lights did not come on."

Addressing Hussain, Judge Burbridge added: "You told the police that you must have blacked out.

"You had a momentary loss of attention but with a devastating effect.” David Hinton with his wife Nadine

Mrs Powis added: ”It is impossible to say for sure that he dozed off, as the prosecution state, or whether he just had an episode.
