Delivery driver who killed five-year-old girl carried on to drop off takeaway

A takeaway delivery driver who knocked down a five-year-old girl, killing her, carried on to drop off his delivery. An inquest heard that Istvan Zarka hit Minaal Salam with his vehicle when she stepped out into the road having left an after-school club.

Minaal was carried on the bonnet of the Volkswagen Touran he was driving for around 10ft before stopping. But the hearing on Tuesday was told that as Minaal's father, a neurosurgeon, held his daughter, Zarka refused his plea to call an ambulance, reports StokeonTrentLive.

Further, the inquest heard, Zarka then continued driving up the road to drop off the takeaway. He then returned to the scene of the collision, but gave no comment when interviewed by police officers.
