A man has been convicted and jailed for 10 months for dangerous driving over the crash that killed his partner on her 26th birthday as she drove to pick up her six-year-old daughter. 

Jordan Moore, 29, was sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court on Wednesday to 10 months behind bars, with a further 10 months to be served on licence upon his release.

Ariola Hoxhaj, 26, was killed back in November 2018 after the Mercedes A class car she was driving ploughed into a tree next to the dual carriageway in Enfield.

Ariola, a mother of one from Enfield, sustained horrific injuries when her car was embedded into the tree. Images show the tree buried in the middle of the wreckage of the white vehicle.

Police were called at around 11:55pm on Monday, November 12, 2018 to reports of a car collision with a tree on the south bank carriageway of Great Cambridge Road.

Officers, London Ambulance Service and the London Fire Brigade attended but Ariola, on her way to pick up her daughter Ria, was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Officers from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit discovered that Ariola and Moore had been driving separate white Mercedes vehicles (a A250 hatchback and a CLA45 MG Saloon respectively).

Ariola and Moore had both been travelling in convoy well in excess of 40mph speed limit towards Carterhatch Lane.

Ariola, who was behind, had lost control of her vehicle and it became embedded in a tree. 

Witnesses described seeing Moore’s vehicle carrying on further down the road for a brief while, where it was parked as if to hide it, before he then returned to the devastating scene.

Initially, Moore claimed to the police that he did not know who was driving the other vehicle.

Moore was eventually arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and was later released under investigation.

A post-mortem examination held at Haringey Mortuary gave the cause of death as catastrophic injuries.

Moore was then charged with causing death by dangerous driving but was found not guilty and convicted of dangerous driving. 

Moore has since been disqualified from driving for two years and 10 months, and must sit an extended re-test.

He has also been issued with a Deprivation Order for his £37,000 Mercedes AMG.
