A speeding driver who killed a young woman as he tried to speed away from police in a stolen vehicle has been jailed for more than six years.
Brandon Daniels, 20, lost control of the stolen Audi A3 during a police chase and rammed into a VW Golf at 72mph in a 30 mph zone.
Sarah Giles, 20, was a passenger in the Golf and was sent 'flying into the air' and died in hospital as a result of 'multiple traumatic injuries'.
Police were carrying out a routine patrol when they spotted the £23,000 Audi before pursuing it along a Birmingham road on July 29.
The black Audi had already crashed once before it lost control and rammed into the car containing Ms Giles, her boyfriend Connor Donnelly and friend Dalton Banks at around 8.30pm.
Daniels, who had no driving licence, was arrested at the scene after being chased by locals as police tended to the injured.
Officers found footage of Daniels on his phone driving at speeds of 140mph while friends laughed in the background after seizing his phone.
Daniels, of Kingstanding, previously admitted causing death by dangerous driving and two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He was today jailed for six years and six months and banned from driving for nine years and three months at Birmingham Crown Court.

The Golf was sent flying into the air and flipped over many times before smashing into the wall of a home, the court heard.
Mr Donnelly and Mr Banks were both seriously injured and were in a coma for a number of days in hospital.
The court also heard heartbreaking victim impact statements from Miss Giles' family.
Her mum Sharon Giles said: 'It did not fully hit me until I identified her lifeless body in the mortuary.
'I felt numb and paralysed by grief. Her life was horrifically cut short.
'She is the last and first thought of my mind each day. I would give anything to change places with her. My appetite has gone.
'Food seems unimportant. I feel a great emptiness inside me. My daughter loved life.
'She had plans to travel the world and start a family. The effect of her death has devastated my entire family I have been given a life sentence of grief.'

Dad John added: 'Sarah Giles was no normal 20-year-old.
'She was utterly selfless and more delightful than can be described in words.
'Sarah had been a force for all things good in the world. She did not have a bad bone in her body. She had started to thrive. She seemed finally to have a direction.
'I have been robbed of the most precious loving child imaginable.'
Judge Roderick Henderson described Ms Giles and 'intelligent, kind and generous' and was 'completely blameless' for the incident.
Speaking to Daniels, he said: 'In your car were four passengers and you were driving around in a stolen car on false plates.
'You had no license and tried to escape the police. You drove up to 80mph throughout residential areas.
'In the middle of a summer's evening people would be out, it is a miracle nobody else was injured.
'The smallest mercy in this case is that Sarah wouldn't know what happened.
'You were detained by the quick thinking of the residents on the road.
'In the end it was you who deliberately drove like this and caused those injuries.'

Brandon...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
