A heavily modified Nissan Skyline linked to a deadly illegal street race in Oldbury has been smashed to pieces by police, sparking a milestone in justice for victims’ families.
Destruction of Skyline Follows Deadly Crash
The Nissan Skyline, driven by Dhiya Al-Maamoury, was crushed in front of officers and bereaved relatives on December 1. Imported and heavily altered for street racing, the car became a symbol of tragedy after a horrific crash in November 2022.
Al-Maamoury lost control during an illegal race on Oldbury Road, ploughing into a crowd. Teenagers Ben Corfield, 19, and Liberty Charris, 16, were killed instantly. Two others, Ebonie Parkes and Ethan Kilburn, suffered serious injuries.
Justice Served With Prison and Car Crush
Al-Maamoury was locked up for 13 years and six months in November 2024. Following his conviction, police secured a deprivation order to seize and destroy the deadly vehicle—sending a clear warning to would-be racers.
“The car used in the deaths of Ben and Liberty will never be driven again. A dangerous car has been taken off the roads,” said Det Sgt Paul Hughes from the Serious Collision Unit.
