A lying Mercedes driver who killed a woman after ploughing head on into her car while distracted by his mobile phone then tried to blame his victim. Mohammed Javadpour, 53, launched a desperate bid to cover up his selfish actions just moments after the crash in Stockport, which ultimately killed 56-year-old Elaine Goodwin.
Ms Goodwin, a self-employed nail technician, had nipped out to the shops to buy some milk when Javadpour crashed into her Vauxhall Corsa with his Mercedes SUV. Shortly after the smash, he arranged for someone to travel to the scene of the crash on Bramhall Lane South to remove the phone he had used to make a call about a minute prior to impact, before police were able to search his car.
Ms Goodwin died 12 days later after suffering terrible injuries. Her parents were on holiday in Tenerife at the time and faced an agonising wait to get home to be by her side in hospital, after initially having difficulty arranging a flight home. Her cat Mij was so traumatised that it had to be put down.

Her sister Karen Kendrick hit out at Javadpour, who eventually pleaded guilty on the eve of a trial. Even on the day he was sentenced, he tried to wriggle out of his guilty plea and claim he had been badly advised by his legal team.
"He has shown himself to be dishonest," Karen, 60, told the Manchester Evening News. "He has taken no consideration of our legal system or us as a family. As far as I am concerned he has shown no remorse whatsoever."
She said he'd displayed 'utter contempt and disregard' for her family. Ms Goodwin's 85-year-old mother Joyce was also in court to see Javadpour being locked up
