A woman who shouted and waved at a cyclist causing her to fall into the path of an oncoming car, has had her manslaughter conviction overturned.

Auriol Grey, 49, was caught on CCTV shouting and waving her arm aggressively at Celia Ward, 77, as she approached on her bicycle in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, in October 2020.

Moments later Ms Ward veered off the kerb and fell into the path of an oncoming car and was declared dead at the scene.

Grey, who has cerebral palsy, was jailed for three years at Peterborough Crown Court after a jury found her guilty of manslaughter.

But her conviction has been overturned at the Court of Appeal.
