A person commits an offence if—

a

the person has committed an offence under section 24(1) or (3),

a vehicle in which that feature is engaged is involved in a dangerous incident of that kind, and

d

an individual is killed or seriously injured as a result of that incident.

2

A person commits an offence if—

a

the person has committed an offence under section 24(4),

b

the conduct constituting the offence prevented the provision of accurate information to the Secretary of State,

a vehicle in which that feature is engaged is involved in a dangerous incident of that kind, and

e

an individual is killed or seriously injured as a result of that incident.

dangerous incident” means an incident of a sort that carries an obvious risk of serious injury to an individual.
