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.

For the latter offence, he received a 15-month sentence suspended for two years in May 2023.
