Mohammed Shaikh, 48, has been jailed for three years after the boozed-up & selfish driver lost control of his Maserati and ploughed into two Metropolitan Police Officers causing life-changing injuries to both of the brave officers.

PC Christopher Appleton, 35, and PC Samantha Clark, 36, had been dealing with an unrelated incident on the A406 in north-west London when Shaikh, who had just come off of a previous ban for drink driving, hit them both before crashing into the side of a house.

Being the sort of individual that Shaikh clearly is, at the time he REFUSED to provide a breath test and gave FALSE details to the Police in a pathetic & cowardly attempt to try and escape the consequences of his disgusting actions.

WP 1

Shaikh had drunk at least four glasses of wine at a party in Windsor when he made the decision to get behind the wheel of his car and drive home with his wife in the passenger seat.

Most normal, responsible and decent people, would have got into a cab or used public transport. Shaikh clearly is not short of a few quid, otherwise he wouldn’t have been driving his 60K sports car.

PC Appleton and PC Clark, who were both on foot when they were struck by Shaikhs’ vehicle, suffered horrendous injuries in the incident and were both in hospital for weeks.

PC Appleton suffered multiple broken bones leaving him unable to care for his pregnant wife and two children, while Ms Clark may never walk unaided again. And all because of a selfish drink driver who clearly only cares about himself.

Both officers sat in wheelchairs in court for the sentencing, surrounded by their families, friends and colleagues who have supported both of them throughout the ordeal.

The officers were returning to their own parked Police vehicle on the A406 near Brent Park in Neasden at around 3.30am when Shaikh came round a slight bend and lost control of his powerful car.

PC Appleton was left unconscious on the ground while PC Clark was trapped between the vehicle and the house until other emergency service crews arrived at the scene.

They were both rushed to St Mary’s Hospital and received weeks of treatment.

PC Appleton, a married father of two, suffered internal bleeding and had to have part of his pancreas removed.

He also suffered fractures to both legs, his pelvis, shoulder and ribs, leaving him unable to help care for his two young sons and pregnant wife.

Whilst Shaikh was insured, because he lied to his insurance company about his previous drink-drive convictions, the Policy was found to be invalid.
And yet, his defence solicitor, Andrew Frynann, claimed that Shaikh was an ‘attentive and hands on father’ to his two daughters….really…..?

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

    I hope and pray that the 2 officers continue to make improvements in regard to their injuries. I also hope and pray that when the prison officers close the door on this sorry excuse for a human being, they inadvertently drop the key down a VERY VERY deep drain! 3 years is not enough.😡
