A Keighley girl has paid tribute to the brother she lost in Sunday’s horrific car accident on South Street.

Aysha Iqbal hailed 20-year-old brother Sayeed as hard-working, selfless, caring and a great friend to many people.

Sayeed’s death robbed Aysha and her six sisters, who live in Stockbridge, of their only brother.

The former Ilkley Grammar School student, a bank worker, was the driver of a car that crashed into a wall outside Keighley Business Centre.

The Seat Leon failed to negotiate a left-hand bend while being pursued by a police car on South Street at 12.20am.

Sayeed was pronounced dead at the scene and his three teenage passengers were injured.

One of them, a 15-year-old former South Craven School student, yesterday remained in a critical condition at Leeds General Infirmary following a brain operation.

The incident has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

Sayeed’s funeral on Tuesday, at the Emily Street mosque in Lawkholme, was attended by hundreds of local people.

Immediately afterwards Sayeed’s body was flown to Pakistan for burial, accompanied by several family members.

Aysha said: “He was a beautiful brother and son who touched everybody’s lives. No-one had one bad word to say about him.

“He was so privileged, yet he worked so hard. He was selfless, caring and a great friend to so many people, regardless of their age. He was taken from us so young but God wanted his angel back.

“Your loving sisters and parents will always have you in their hearts and we will always search for you.”
