A Kettering woman has been handed a suspended prison sentence for her role in a crash which had a life-changing impact on a cyclist.

Margaret Brown, of Scott Road, was arrested after the incident on the outskirts of Wellingborough on September 24 last year. She had been driving a VW Passat on the A509 when she pulled onto the Niort Way/Harrowden Road roundabout at 11.40am and clipped a cyclist, a man in his 60s.

Northamptonshire Police said the cyclist suffered serious injuries including a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain.

Last week Brown, 67, appeared before Northampton Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by driving without due care and attention. Magistrates said the impact on the victim has been life-changing and jailed Brown for 26 weeks, but suspended the sentence for 12 months..

Brown was banned from driving for 18 months and must pay costs of £85 and a surcharge to fund victim services of £154.
