Barancan Nurcin, a 22-year-old from High Road, Tottenham, has been sentenced after causing a fatal crash on the M25 in February while driving a stolen van against oncoming traffic. The court heard that Nurcin, who was on court bail and a suspended sentence for previous violent offences, was attempting to evade police when the collision occurred.
Nurcin had a history of violent behaviour, including two unprovoked attacks. In April 2021, he assaulted a man in a Chingford shop, striking him from behind. In a separate incident in February 2023, Nurcin attacked another individual in Willoughby Road, Wood Green, causing a bleed on the brain. For the latter offence, he received a 15-month sentence suspended for two years in May 2023. Additionally, Nurcin was banned from driving due to heavy cannabis use and had a prior conviction for drug possession.
