A Cricklewood woman who killed a “loving devoted husband and father” while driving carelessly has been spared jail.
Dr Amin Alamshah,a 38-year-old father-of-two, died when a female motorist drove into him.
Nazila Sanei, 51, of Cumbrian Gardens, was driving along Claremont Road when she turned right across the path of his oncoming motorcyle on March 11 last year.
Dr Alamshah suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Reading an impact statement to the court his wife said: "Many words can and have been used to describe Amin.

Dr Alamshah had grown up in Iran and moved to the UK to complete his studies, graduating in 2006.
