Pedestrian who screamed 'get off the f****** pavement' and caused cyclist to fall into traffic jailed for manslaughter

A pedestrian has been jailed for manslaughter after shouting and waving at a cyclinst on the pavement, causing her to fall into the path of an oncoming car.

Auriol Grey, who has cerebral palsy, shouted at retired midwife Celia Ward to "get off the f*****g pavement" in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire which caused her to fall onto the road. Mrs Ward, 77, of Wyton, Cambridgeshire, was then struck by a car, resulting in her death on October 20, 2020.

The 49-year-old 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."
