“WHO TUNED THE SEAT LEON TO HIT 122MPH?”  — SHOCKING new details emerge about the 18-year-old in the Bolton, Greater Manchester crɑsh, exρosing DARK SECRETS behind the reckless ‘boy rɑcers’

The heartbroken brother of a boy racer killed in a head-on crash that also claimed the lives of two other youths and a taxi driver has revealed he begged the teenager to ‘be smarter’ behind the wheel in what would prove to be their final conversation.

Mohammed Jibrael Mukhtar, 18, also known as Jibril, was understood to have been driving his souped-up Seat Leon in Bolton, Greater Manchester, in the early hours of Sunday when it collided with a Citroen Picasso taxi.

Mukhtar was killed alongside his school friends Mohammed Danyaal Asghar Ali, 19, and Farhan Patel, 18, as well as the taxi driver, Masrob Ali, 54.

His older brother Miraj, 21, later shared screenshots of their final message exchange on TikTok, in which he warned the teenager to take greater care on the roads.

Miraj runs Narkos High Performance Tuning, the garage where Jibril worked as a mechanic.

The WhatsApp exchange read: ‘180 mph one mistake tyre blows or car comes in front. Dead & in pieces. Be smarter.’

In the caption, he wrote: ‘My last messages to him – Damn I wish he just listened. But he was only 18.’

A family friend said: ‘Jibril liked to drive at crazy speeds and his brother was worried about him.

‘He had put out that post about him slowing down. Jibril had an accident in Bolton about a month ago when he flipped the car.

‘He clearly hadn’t learnt his lesson. It’s tragic he’s now lost his life. It’s very sad.’

Mukhtar had frequently showcased his heavily modified car on social media, posting videos of its loud engine, flashing exhaust pipe and cosmetic upgrades.

Narkos High Performance Tuning, the garage run by his brother, advertises performance modifications and vehicle upgrades, promising ‘superior performance, increased power, and an exhilarating exhaust note’.

The tragedy prompted an outpouring of social media tributes for the three teens, who were former students at Ladybridge High School.

Danyaal’s friends launched a fundraising page in his memory following his death.

In a statement shared on the page, they said: ‘We are raising funds in loving memory of a dear brother Danyaal Asghar who has passed away,’ adding that the loss had been ‘deeply painful’. They said they wanted to honour his life by ‘giving back and helping others in need’.

It comes after police revealed that in the wake of the crash, they were examining video footage uploaded by one of the teens appearing to show the car speeding through a built-up area at 122mph the night before.

It is believed to have been filmed at 3am on Saturday, just under 24 hours before the fatal smash.

Yesterday, a family friend of one of the dead teenagers branded the clip ‘stupid’ and ‘crazy’, saying the boy’s father had been left ‘absolutely broken’.

Five passengers from both vehicles remain in hospital, including a 29-year-old woman in the Citroen who suffered potentially life-threatening injuries. Two other Citroen passengers, a 28-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man, were seriously injured, while a 29-year-old man suffered minor injuries. An 18-year-old passenger in the Seat also sustained minor injuries.

Families living near the site of the horrific collision said they have been begging for safety measures for years, with residents telling how there are collisions along Wigan Road ‘every couple of months’.

They include a smash just before Christmas outside a primary school where a car collided with a wall just a few hundred yards from the scene of Sunday’s tragedy.

Debris, including part of the car’s bumper, is still present, while a wall adjacent to the school entrance is partially collapsed.

But residents say they have been told that because previous incidents did not involve serious injury, statistics did not justify traffic calming or speed cameras.

CCTV of the Bolton crash – which happened at around 12.45am on Sunday morning – appears to show the Seat containing the teenagers travelling at high speed on the wrong side of the 30mph road.

It then hits father-of-four Mr Ali’s Citroen C4 Picasso private hire vehicle head-on.

Yesterday, his daughter said he was a ‘safe’ driver and that they were being comforted by the belief that the tragedy did not appear to have been his fault.

‘He was just the kindest man,’ Humayra Ali, 29, told the Daily Mail.

‘Everyone described him as the sweetest, most gentle soul. He would always talk to you with a smile on his face.’

On Monday, Detective Inspector Andrew Page, of GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: ‘We are still in the early stages of our investigation and work is ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this terrible incident.

‘As an investigation team we would encourage people to be mindful of sharing footage on social media given the impact this will have on all the families involved in such a tragic incident.

‘Sharing such footage could constitute a criminal offence.

Police revealed that in the wake of the crash, they were examining video footage uploaded by one of the teens appearing to show the car speeding through a built-up area at 122mph the night before

‘Thanks to patrols in the area, teams were able to get to the incident location quickly to what was a particularly challenging scene for colleagues in the emergency services.

‘I want to thank first responders from our Bolton district and the Road Policing Unit, alongside colleagues from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and the North West Ambulance Service for their hard work since this incident.

‘The scene closed on Sunday evening, but we are still appealing for any witnesses to come forward.

‘Anyone who saw the vehicle driving before the collision, witnessed the incident itself, or has dashcam/ CCTV footage of the incident can share it with us.’
