Street racer faces lifetime driving ban after killing trucker

BY Glenn Wilkins June 03, 2008 14:06

Nauman Nusrat will never legally drive a motor vehicle again.

So said a Barrie judge Tuesday in handing down sentence in the case of the man who pleaded guilty in April to speeding up Highway 400 last summer, and clipping a truck driver. David Virgoe, 48, swerved to avoid the speeders and left the road, crashed into a ditch and died instantly.

Nusrat, now 20, was handed a conditional two-year sentence, two years probation, and forfeited his vehicle. He was also handed a lifetime driving prohibition, after pleading guilty to a charge of criminal negligence causing death by street racing.

On the lesser charge of uttering forged document (that is, driving without insurance) Nusrat was also given two years’ probation (concurrent with the sentence on the other charge) and fined $250.

Two other men charged in the street racing case are due back in court later this month.
