UK-Based Zimbabwean Woman Admits Causing Fatal Crash That Killed Young Motorcyclist

By Staff Reporter
A Zimbabwean-born woman living in Nottingham has admitted causing the death of a young motorcyclist in a tragic road collision that shocked the local community and brought traffic in the city to a standstill for nearly 11 hours.

Nomazwe Moyo, 35, of Eltham Close, Broxtowe, pleaded guilty at Nottingham Crown Court to causing death by dangerous driving. She also admitted causing death while driving without insurance.

The charges stem from a devastating multi-vehicle collision that occurred on Bobbers Mill Bridge along Alfreton Road in Nottingham on 18 October 2025.

Emergency services were called to the scene shortly before 8:30am following reports of a serious crash involving several vehicles. According to Nottinghamshire Police, multiple emergency response teams attended the incident, where a motorcyclist had sustained critical injuries.

Despite the efforts of medical personnel, the 21-year-old victim was pronounced dead shortly after the collision.

The deceased was later identified as Muhammad Aftab Ahmad, affectionately known by family and friends as “Tabi.”

Paying tribute to his younger brother, Waqas Ahmad described Muhammad as a devoted family man whose future was full of promise.

“He was a loving husband, brother and father,” Waqas said. “He was hardworking, full of dreams and always helping others.”

Appealing for prayers and support for the grieving family, he added: “This is a massive loss to his family, and we ask people to keep him and his loved ones in their prayers.”

The fatal crash triggered a major police operation, resulting in the closure of Bobbers Mill Bridge and sections of Alfreton Road between Gregory Boulevard and Aspley Lane for approximately 11 hours. Specialist collision investigators examined the scene while traffic disruption spread across large parts of Nottingham.

Moyo was initially charged following an extensive police investigation and first appeared before Nottingham Magistrates’ Court before the matter was transferred to Nottingham Crown Court.

At a hearing held on 10 February 2026, she formally admitted both offences, eliminating the need for a full trial.

Judge Michael Auty KC granted her bail and adjourned the case for sentencing at a later date.

The case has once again highlighted the devastating consequences of dangerous driving and the profound impact road fatalities have on families and communities. For the family of Muhammad Aftab Ahmad, the court proceedings mark another painful chapter in the loss of a young man remembered as caring, hardworking and full of ambition.

Sentencing is expected to take place later this year.
