Family name victims of Sheffield police chase crash

Two of the four people killed in a crash on Friday night, following a police car chase, have been named by their family.

Adnan Ashraf Jarral, 35, and his one-year-old baby boy Usman died when the VW Touran people carrier they were travelling in was hit by a Golf that had been pursued by police.

Two other people - a 50-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman - died in the smash in the Darnall area of Sheffield, shortly before 9pm.

Mr Jarral's uncle, Shafqat Mirza, told Sky News correspondent Tom Parmenter, who is in Darnall, that his nephew was a "unique character, very humble, very polite - he was full of life and devoted to his sons. He would do anything for them".

"He was always taking them out on trips, shopping, fun fairs...he was very very close to his kids."

Mr Mirza confirmed that his nephew's wife, who is originally Slovakian, was in the vehicle but survived and is being treated in hospital for a broken leg, back injuries and minor facial injuries.

He revealed they had been planning a trip to Mecca on 27 November.

Mr Jarral had been driving the people carrier home after a trip to London when they were hit by the VW Golf at 8:50pm on Friday evening.

A South Yorkshire police vehicle had been pursuing the VW Golf at the time of the crash and the incident has now been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct who are carrying out their own investigation.

Tufail Hussain, 80, who was one of the first people to get to the wreckage of the crash which happened outside his home.

Mr Hussain said: "It was just terrible. It's the worst thing I have ever seen.

"The whole of Darnall is in shock. We are all traumatised and it will take a long time for us to get over this."

Mr Hussain said the first thing he knew about the crash was when he heard a loud bang as he was playing with his grandchildren and he went out to help but police and paramedics arrived very quickly.

He said an off-duty paramedic who lives on the street performed heroics at the scene.

Medics from a private medical support firm, based a few hundred yards from where the collision happened, also came to help.

Mr Hussain said: "The whole community is shocked but they have pulled together. Everyone came together to help."

On Sunday flowers were left by the side of the road but all traces of the crash had been removed.

The three occupants of the car, aged 17, 18 and 23, are being questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
