A man who killed a 19-year-old girl in a road traffic collision has been jailed for death by dangerous driving.
Abdul Sujac, 22, hit teenager Laura Ann Keyes, from Tideswell, Derbyshire, on Creek Road at the junction with Deptford Church Street, Deptford, on November 30.
Police and an ambulance were called at 10.15pm but despite paramedics efforts, Laura was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post-mortem held later at Greenwich Public Mortuary on December 6 gave the cause of death as multiple injuries.
Sujac, of Sunrise Close, Stratford, had been driving a black BMW and stopped at the scene.

He was then arrested on suspicion of death by dangerous driving and taken to a south London police station.
During his sentencing, the court heard that Sujac was a habitually dangerous driver who enjoyed brazenly recording clips of his reckless exploits.

Police recovered over 4000 clips from his phone.
In one video, posted just two days after being convicted for another offence, he posted a caption reading: nine points aint gonna stop me driving.
Sujac was jailed for six years and three months at Southwark Crown Court on October 19, having previously pleaded guilty to death by dangerous at an earlier hearing.
He will also be disqualified from driving for five years.

Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Richard Budd, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: The evening that Laura died she had been having fun with her friends and enjoying her life before it was tragically cut short in the most cruel and sudden of circumstances.
Sujacs senseless and irresponsible actions have robbed Lauras family of a person who by all accounts was a well-loved and well-liked young woman who had the rest of her life to look forward to.
Sujac will now have a substantial custodial sentence to reflect on his actions.
I hope this will act as a reminder to other motorists to drive safely and responsibly so as to spare anyone else the devastation that Lauras family have been caused.
