Brothers on Trial for Deadly Crash

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Two brothers, optometrists Umar and Abubakr Yusaf, face trial for causing the death of Rhys Jenkins and serious injury to his nine-year-old son Ioan in a November 2024 crash on the A483 in Wales. Umar testified he wasn’t racing or tracking his brother, claiming overtakes were safe and that road conditions—possibly contaminated with mud—might have contributed. He described the harrowing scene, his efforts to help Ioan, and his brother’s confusion afterward. Umar also said he didn’t know where Abubakr was during the drive, making it impossible for him to encourage dangerous driving. He later tried to return to the crash site and drove with his brother to a Tesco. The trial continues, with more revelations expected as the court weighs the evidence.
