A woman has been jailed after a 77-year-old cyclist fell off the path and into an oncoming car. Auriol Grey, 49 was handed three years in jail after she gestured towards Celia Ward in a “hostile and aggressive way” before the cyclist fell into the path of an oncoming car. Video footage captured the moment Grey shouted at Ms Ward to “get off the f****** pavement” in Huntingdon, Cambridge in October 2020.
The court heard that the two women passed each other on the path in opposite directions with the prosecution claiming Grey was “angered by the presence of a cyclist on a footpath”.
Ms Ward died at the scene after the vehicle had no chance of stopping or taking avoiding action.
Grey left the scene prior to emergency services arriving and carried on to buy groceries at Sainsbury’s.
The 49-year-old later told police she was partially sighter and described the cyclist as travelling “fast”.
She said she was “anxious” she was going to be hit and “may have unintentionally put” out her hand to protect herself.
