Sheffield United player jailed for 6 Months

Twenty-one year old, Sheffield United striker Jordan Robertson pleaded guilty in Leicester Crown Court for death by dangerous driving. Robertson crashed into the car on Christmas day on the M1, Leicester. The casualties include Mr Mohamed and his kids. Mr Mohamed later died on Boxing day.

Both drivers had been driving down the M1 junction near Lutterworth when Robertson’s sports car hit Mr Mohamed’s Ford Galaxy. Robertson told police he had been retuning a song on his mp3, which distracted him from the events on the road. Robertson was on loan to Southampton at the time of the crash.
