A pedestrian who shouted and waved her arm aggressively at a cyclist on the pavement, causing her to fall into the path of an oncoming car, has been jailed for three years for her manslaughter. CCTV footage shows Auriol Grey, 49, shout at retired midwife Celia Ward to "get off the f****** pavement" in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, causing her to fall into the road.
Grandmother Mrs Ward, 77, of Wyton, Cambridgeshire, died after she was struck by a car on October 20, 2020. Grey, who has cerebral palsy, denied manslaughter but was found guilty following a retrial at Peterborough Crown Court.
Judge Sean Enright, sentencing Grey to three years in prison, said "these actions are not explained by disability". He said that Grey, of Huntingdon, had no mental disorder or learning difficulties and he said the pavement was 2.4 metres wide at the relevant point, describing it as a "shared path on the ring road".
