A MAN who crashed into a car at high speed killing a two-month old baby has been jailed.
Kabir Khan, 31, was sentenced to a total of four-and-a-half years at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

Mohammed was travelling in the Corolla.
Khan also received a further 15 months for dangerous driving and driving with no insurance for a separate incident where he failed to stop for police and crashed his car in Birmingham in July 2010.
Inspector Mark Watkins from the Collision Investigation Unit who has been leading 
the investigation said: “This sentence sees this man taken off the streets for what was a cowardly and calculated act.
the investigation said: “This sentence sees this man taken off the streets for what was a cowardly and calculated act.
“Knowing that he had caused the accident, he then purposely evaded arrest.
“Khan’s reckless disregard for other road users whilst driving a high performance vehicle, highlighted by the fact that he was already on bail for separate offences, directly resulted in the death of Mohammed.
“Clearly the accident has had a devastating impact on the family who are still grieving their loss. Hopefully seeing the offender sent to prison will help bring some closure.”
