35-year-old man gets 6 years for fatal accident

A 35-year-old man, Milad Sadiqi, has been sentenced to six years in prison for negligent manslaughter of a 55-year-old woman in a traffic accident last spring. He will also be deported from Denmark with a permanent re-entry ban and has his driving license revoked. The accident occurred on the morning of April 24 last year near Nørre Snede. Sadiqi was driving at 111 km/h in a 90 km/h zone and overtook a van illegally, colliding with the woman. Despite Sadiqi’s claim that the woman changed lanes towards him, evidence showed the accident happened in her lane. The prosecutor sought a harsher sentence due to Sadiqi’s criminal history. The defense will appeal the verdict, seeking acquittal on the primary charge of negligent manslaughter.
