This is the driver who says her life has been ruined after she ran over and killed an elderly cyclist who was shooed off the pavement and into the road by a pedestrian, MailOnline reveal.
Carla Money says she has been left so devastated that it has led to the breakup of her marriage and suffering from PTSD.
Ms Money, 33, a mother of two, was driving her VW Passat in October 2020 through Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire when she hit Celia Ward, 77.
Earlier this week, Auriol Grey, 49, was jailed for three years at Peterborough Crown Court for manslaughter after gesturing at Ms Ward in a 'hostile and aggressive way' while screaming 'get off the f***ing pavement' as she came cycling towards her.
The court heard that this caused Ms Ward to veer onto the road before being hit by a car driven by Ms Money, who was returning from a playdate with her son.

'I no longer have a happy-go-lucky personality.
'I couldn't face speaking to people. Because of your selfish actions my children suffered, they lost their mum.
'Mummy didn't want to be around them or play with them. I struggled to get out of bed and was snappy.'
She added: 'My relationship has collapsed with my husband so much we are getting divorced. My children aged seven and four now have to deal with separated parents.'
Grey is partially blind and also suffers from cognitive issues.
The court heard that until pre-sentencing Grey had expressed 'no remorse' for her actions and had walked off to a local supermarket before emergency services arrived at the scene of the crash.
