Saqib, in the last moments of his life, rang 999 and told the operator he was being rammed off the road and the call handler said “ you’re not being rammed off the road”JMO - I think that might be a little bit harsh. It's a very difficult situation for all involved and a high speed car chase must be a very difficult environment to have a telephone conversation of any kind, let alone one where lives are on the line.
The operator is trying to either direct them to a police station or work out where they are so that they can send help. Saqib and Hashim are not from Leicester so probably not familiar with the area they are in, and are in a situation where it's very difficult to stay calm and provide the information the call handler needs to provide them with the assistance they needed at the time.
Under no circumstances should they be saying that to anyone who has rang them in distress.
Unfortunately, that was one of the last things saqib heard before he died. The police, who he was begging to help him, were not taking his cries for help seriously.
S I've gone past Ratcliffe College and I'm getting rammed off the road...
O You're not getting rammed off the road...
S They're trying to hit the vehicle, they're hit into the side...
O And you've gone past Ratcliffe Road?
S Ratcliffe College, I just told you, I've gone past that now. Please. I just need help.
