Dariusz Adamusiak, 37, was riding at 39 miles per hour, almost double the legal speed limit of the road he was on, when he hit 12-year-old Qusai Alomar on Sept. 16, 2021.

Adamusiak remained at the scene after the accident, where he was later arrested. Alomar died three days later in a local hospital.

The rider admitted causing death by dangerous driving, and was sentenced to two years and 10 months in jail at his trial at the Old Bailey court in central London.

He will be released on license after half his sentence, and was disqualified from driving for four years and five months.

Metropolitan Police Detective Inspector John Millward said in a statement: “This was truly a tragic case where a young boy sadly and needlessly lost his life due to a motorcyclist who ignored the designated speed limit.

“I would like to send my continued condolences to this young boy’s family, and thank them for their patience and trust in the investigation.

“I would also like to thank my detectives and colleagues for their professionalism and dedication to seek justice for this grieving family.”
