Crash coward admits to leaving friend to die in fiery crash, faces up to 14 years in prison
A drunk driver who admitted to crashing his car and leaving his friend to die in the burning vehicle may use the experience to teach a lesson to youngsters.
Saeed Ahmad pleaded guilty on Tuesday morning in Brooklyn Supreme Court for causing the death of Harleen Grewal after crashing his car into the median on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and leaving her to burn alive while he fled the scene to aid himself.
His prosecutors are now recommending that he participate in Choices and Consequences, a drug and alcohol awareness program that may be assigned through the Department of Probation (DOP).
