A driver who mowed down and killed a 96-year-old woman in a fit of road rage has been jailed for her manslaughter. Michael Irons, 26, ran down Ivy Warnes in his silver VW Golf as she was being helped across the road by her daughter in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, on March 8 this year.
The pensioner died later in hospital after suffering serious injuries. Irons had been trying to ram his car into an Audi Q7 with which he had been involved in a minor collision earlier that day.
Police said the occupants of the Audi challenged Irons before he reversed into another vehicle and drove off, deliberately scraping the Golf along the side of the parked Audi. Irons then dropped off his partner and young daughter and drove back to the scene where he drove deliberately towards the parked Audi Q7 intending to ram the vehicle.
