A fast -moving driver is locked up after he had killed a student at a horror crash.
Akbar Razaq went double in the night of 2 February 2023 of the 30 MPH limit in his Audi A4 near Glasgow City Center.
The 29-year-old hit another car before mounting the sidewalk and hit a traffic light pole.
Chinenye Okonkwo waited to cross the road, but was eventually crushed between handrails and the front of the Audi.
The 33 -year -old – studying public health at the Caledonic University of the city – has never survived.
Razaq is now behind bars after he admitted that he caused death caused by dangerous driving in the Supreme Court in Glasgow.
He will be convicted in May.
Nigeriaans born Mrs. Okonkwo had moved to the UK in 2022 to study in Glasgow.
Members of her grieving family were able to look from their home country yesterday and listen to the hearing.
The student also had a part -time job in a nursing home in the eastern end of the city.
She was on her way to start a shift when the tragedy struck.
Just before the collision, the student stopped waiting for a gap in traffic to cross.

Public Prosecutor Alex Prentice KC said: 'Chinenye Okonkwo was on the doorstep at the intersection of Newton Street and St. Vincent Street in Glasgow when she was hit by the speeding Audi A4 driven by Razaq.
“The Audi was already struck by a Ford Fiesta when it started to make a bend in St Vincent Street from the Leftweg in Newton Street.”
The court heard how Razaq initially destroyed his horn at the Fiesta driver to try to prevent a crash.
But the Audi was hit before it went on the sidewalk and hit the traffic light pole.
Mrs. Okonkwo was then struck by both the car and the pole, so she was attached between the handrails and the car.
Razaq went on to 'protest' with the other driver.
It was only then that a passenger in his car saw Mrs. Okonkwo under the Audi.
Razaq moved the Audi and a call of 999 was made.
Mrs. Okonkwo received 'extensive advanced living support' on the spot, but did not recover.
Crash researchers concluded that the collision was caused by 'negligence of both directors'.
But Mr Prentice added: 'Despite different degrees of responsibility, it is also their opinion that the debt for death is attributed to the driver of the Audi because of his dangerous way of driving at excessive speed.
The indictment stated that he went to 60 MPH in the 30 MPH zone.
The Fiesta driver was initially charged, but she is no longer confronted with persecution.
John Scullion KC, defensive, said yesterday that Razaq, from the Kinning Park of the city, wanted to apologize. He had shown 'deep regret and repentance'.
Razaq had been on bail, but Mr. Scullion did not move that it would be continued.
Lord Mulholland postponed the conviction for reports.
The judge addressed Mrs. Okonkwo's family: 'I read the statement of the victim impact and it is clear that she was a beloved sister and daughter.
“She had a huge potential and worked hard to finance herself through the university.
'From what I read, she was a very talented and hard -working woman.
'It's a total tragedy for you. You have my deepest sympathies. '
