A driver who killed a pensioner in a crash in East Ham has been jailed.
Muhammadh Ahlaaq Afdhel was driving a Peugeot car in Barking Road at around 1.30am on May 1, 2022, when he collided with 78-year-old pedestrian Albert Aspinall.
Mr Aspinall, who lived in East Ham, was taken to hospital where he died three days later.
Afdhel, 28, of Lichfield Road in Dagenham, was convicted of causing death by careless driving.
He was also convicted of fraud by false representation after it was revealed he had failed to tell his insurer that he had previous convictions for drug driving.
At the Old Bailey on Thursday (May 15) he was jailed for two and a half years.
Upon his release from prison, he will be disqualified from driving for four years and three months.
