Pedestrian jailed over cyclist death
A "territorial" pedestrian whose actions killed a 77-year-old cyclist when she was angered by her being on the pavement has been jailed.
The incident was captured on CCTV which included sound, and Grey could be heard shouting at Mrs Ward, a retired midwife, to "get off the [expletive] pavement".Prosecutors said the defendant was "angered by the presence of a cyclist on a footpath" and gestured towards Mrs Ward, from Wyton, who fell into the path of a car.
Cambridgeshire County Council subsequently reiterated that and said it would review the location, but in his sentencing remarks Judge Sean Enright said it was a shared cycleway.Sentencing Grey, Judge Enright said she was "territorial about the pavement" and "resented" the cyclist being there. He said the victim impact statements had made for "painful reading", with Mrs Ward's husband of 53 years, David, stating "rarely a day goes by without thinking of her".
