The woman was trapped in the vehicle after the driver's side door was crushed in the horror.
But footage showed Kelsall exiting his Vauxhall Corsa without even glancing in her direction.
Instead of getting help, the shameless 22-year-old was then filmed picking up a stash of £20 notes that had strewn across the debris.
He fled the scene along with three other passengers, who also failed to come to the woman's aid.
She was left with fractures to her pelvis, spine and fibula, along with an injury to her sternum.
Kelsall, 22, has now been jailed for three years after he pleased guilty to serious injury by dangerous driving and possessing Class A drugs.
In a victim impact statement, the woman said she was "mortified" when the driver fled.
She added: "The worst bit is that they were driving recklessly…and to hear they ran off. I didn't think there were any human beings who would act like that.
"You're entering into a loaded weapon when you get into a car - that's how I feel."
She also told how she bravely chose to share the footage to make other drivers "think twice".
The woman continued: "I could have died, it could have been so much worse.
"However, it's almost as bad as when you do die, because you still have the injuries, the pain and suffering, and the adjustments you have to make.
"I'm no longer independent - they've stolen that from me.
"He's stolen my independence and the last two years of my life."
Sheffield Crown Court heard the crash took place in May 2023 when Kelsall ignored a give way sign at a crossroads.
He was arrested two months later when he was found in possession of 26 wraps of cocaine.
As well as a jail term, Kelsall was banned from driving for three years.

Former National Crime Agency officer stole bitcoin from dark web drug dealer
A former National Crime Agency officer who stole Bitcoin seized from the operator of an illegal dark web marketplace has been jailed for five-and-a-half years. The NCA was investigating the Silk Road 2.0 site – which allowed users to buy drugs and other illicit goods after the original Silk Road was shut down by the FBI in 2013 – and arrested Liverpool-based Thomas White in 2014. Intelligence officer Paul Chowles took the details of White's "retirement wallet" and stole 50 Bitcoin before sending it to a cryptocurrency"mixing" service called Bitcoin Fog to obscure the source, prosecutors said. Chowles, 42, appeared in Liverpool Crown Court having pleaded guilty to one count of theft, one count of transferring criminal property, and one count of concealing criminal property. Prosecutor Craig Hassall said the Bitcoin Chowles stole was worth just under £60,000 (around US$80,000) at the time of the theft in May 2017 and is now worth over £4 million, though Chowles had realised nearly £145,000. Chowles was dismissed by the NCA this month for gross misconduct after his guilty pleas, having been arrested in 2022. The NCA initially thought White, who was jailed in 2019 for over five years, had managed to access his Bitcoin wallet and remove the 50 missing Bitcoin, Hassall said. The remaining 47 Bitcoin in White's wallet were sold by the NCA for roughly £500,000, and the funds paid towards a 1.5 million-pound confiscation order made against White. But police and the NCA began to investigate after White said he was not responsible for moving the 50 Bitcoin, and usernames and passwords linked to White's cryptocurrency accounts were found in Chowles' notebooks when he was arrested. Judge David Aubrey said Bitcoin worth nearly £470,000 was seized from Chowles, telling him: "Had you not been arrested, you would have continued to reap the rewards of your wrongdoing." Detective Chief Inspector John Black, from Merseyside Police 's Force Intelligence Bureau, said: "We know criminals have sought to use cryptocurrency as a way to launder money from illegal activities including drug dealing and fraud. "It will be extremely disappointing to everyone that someone involved in law enforcement could involve themselves in the very criminality they are tasked with investigating and preventing. "This case should illustrate in the starkest terms that nobody is above the law. When it became clear that one of the NCA's own officers had stolen Bitcoin, our officers conducted extensive enquiries to unearth a trail of evidence that Chowles had attempted to hide. This was supported fully by the NCA. "He took advantage of his position on this investigation to line his own pockets while devising a plan that he believed would cover his tracks. He was wrong. "I want to reassure the public that Merseyside Police have specialist officers with the experience and expertise to track the movement of funds designed to avoid detection. "Above all, our officers have the determination to make sure criminals do not profit in any way from breaking the law while other honest and hard-working members of the public work to provide for their families."
