Khan, 28, of Erdington, Birmingham, was arrested when he returned to the UK on July 2 2024. He pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and was jailed for six years at Birmingham Crown Court. He was also banned from driving for almost 13 years.
In victim statements read to the court, Mr Goulbourne’s family described how his death had left a “huge void in many people’s lives, especially ours”.
They said: “Our lives changed forever upon hearing the news that our dad had passed away, and losing such a significant loved one left us in total disbelief with feelings of unbearable grief.
“We will always feel the pain of losing someone so treasured as our dad. However, here we are today when despite our anguish we stand to be given some sort of justice and closure.”
Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes of West Midlands Police said afterwards: “We can only hope that this sentence brings some comfort to Mr Goulbourne’s family.
“Mr Goulbourne was callously left in the road fatally injured by this driver, who was more concerned about trying to evade responsibility for his actions than try to help man he’d hit.
“He went so far as to leave the country within hours of this awful collision and remained away for years, but as soon as he tried to come back we were ready and able to bring him before the courts and see him admit the charge.”
