Athwal, 41, struck and killed pedestrian Jatinder Verma on Soho Road, Handsworth, after falling asleep while driving his Vauxhall Corsa. The collision also severely injured Verma’s wife, Bandana, who remains wheelchair-bound months later. Following the crash, Athwal shockingly reversed over Jatinder’s body before fleeing the scene, only to be arrested later.
