A motorist who killed a 96-year-old woman in a fit of road rage has been jailed for 10 and a half years.
Michael Irons, 26, mowed down Ivy Warnes in his silver VW Golf as she was being helped across the road by her daughter in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, on 8 March.
The frail pensioner died later in hospital after suffering serious injuries.
Irons had been trying to ram his car into an Audi Q7 with which he'd been involved in a minor road accident earlier that day.
In custody, Irons provided a breath test reading of 55 micrograms, above the legal limit of 35.
At Norwich Crown Court on Friday, he was jailed after pleading guilty to manslaughter, criminal damage to endanger, driving with excess alcohol and causing death while uninsured.
