A Bromley woman has been convicted of causing the deaths of two passengers after a convertible car crash in Battersea, South West London. Adele Okojie-Aidonojie, 23, of Edgeborough Way, was found guilty on Tuesday of causing the deaths of Rida Boutjettif, 24, and Mary Macharia, 23, by dangerous driving, along with causing serious injury to another passenger.
The tragic incident occurred on July 16, 2022, when Okojie-Aidonojie’s convertible Mini Cooper was reportedly travelling at speeds exceeding 62mph in a 30mph zone before crashing. The victims, Boutjettif and Macharia, who were not wearing seatbelts, had been filmed dancing in the back of the car just moments before the collision. Upon impact, they were thrown from the vehicle and tragically killed. Ben Sidibe, the front seat passenger, suffered a fractured arm and a brain bleed as a result of the crash.
