Police say Auriol Grey's actions were 'totally disproportionate' and caused the retired midwife's 'untimely and needless death'.
Celia Ward's husband said he is traumatised by the video of her final moments
The driver of the car that hit Mrs Ward - who was with her two-year-old daughter at the time - told the court her life had been"turned upside down" by the incident.Grey's lawyer, Miranda Moore KC, said her client believed"where the pavements are narrow the cyclists... should cycle on the road" but that"there was no intention to cause harm or an obvious risk of harm".Detective Sergeant Mark Dollard called it"a difficult and tragic case".
"Everyone will have their own views of cyclists on pavements and cycleways, but what is clear is Grey's response to the presence of Celia on a pedal cycle was totally disproportionate and ultimately found to be unlawful, resulting in Celia's untimely and needless death"."It's easy to say how wonderful my mum was... she was passionate about her family and always there to help and support us," said Gillian Hayter.
