Shocking moment speeding driver leaves woman for dead in crushed car so he can pick up £20 notes strewn on ground
THIS is the shocking moment a speeding driver leaves a woman for dead in a crushed car to pick up his scattered £20 notes. Ty Kelsall smashed into the victim, who is aged in her 50s, as she drove along a quiet street in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. 5 5 5 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. 5 5
