Mohammed Ibrahim appeared at Birmingham Crown Court on Wednesday for a plea hearing.
The 25-year-old from Sheldon pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, and three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
Amanda Riley, 49, and Linda Philips, 72, both died on December 26, 2023, following a collision on Meadway at the junction with Kitt’s Green Road, in Shard End in Birmingham.
Ibrahim fled the scene and later presented himself to hospital, where he was arrested.
Investigators found that the 25-year-old was driving his BMW 420D between 80 and 84mph in a road with a speed limit of 30mph.
Ibrahim was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing on July 16.
Detective Sergeant Paul Hughes, from the West Midlands Police serious collision investigation unit, said: “Amanda and Linda tragically lost their lives, and others were injured due to the selfishness and dangerous driving of Ibrahim.
“He made no attempt to help anyone and ran off, rather than face up to what he'd done, but we managed to quickly identify and arrest him.
“This incident has devastated a family who we have continued to support during these tragic times.
“Nothing will ever bring Amanda or Linda back, but we hope that this plea will provide the family with a sense of justice.”
