Masturbating drunk driver killed two in horror smash

A drunk driver was masturbating in the lead up to a horror car crash that who killed two people, a court has heard.

32-year-old Imran Hussain was found to be twice the legal blood alcohol limit, when masturbating and driving recklessly at speeds of up to 193km/h, when he smashed into the back of a car, killing the two of the three occupants.

Gary Proctor, 47, and his 16-year-old son James were heading to the airport for a planned trip to the United States.

According to testimony in the UK's Manchester Crown Court, motorist who came to Hussain's aid following the smash noticed that his penis was partially exposed, the Press Association reports.

"At the least it must have been a symptom you were not giving your full attention to driving," said Judge Andrew Blake.

The court heard Hussain had been out drinking with friends following an argument with his wife in the hours preceding the fatal crash, and that he had also visited a lap dancing club.

CCT footage captured at a petrol station prior to the crash, showed Hussain staggering to the counter and threatening to kill the cashier.

A police examination of his mobile phone records revealed that he had called an escort agency less than half an hour before the smash, but it was closed.

Testimony from Christian Downard, who along with two friends went to Hussain's aid after the smash, said that he saw Hussian's semi-erect penis out of his trousers. - It is a tragedy. You tell people what not to do .. any of the things the perp did could have killed others. It is too sad that it did. What price irresponsibility? At least he had the good sense not to clean his gun while doing that - ed.
