This is the shocking moment a speeding driver leaves a seriously injured woman for dead to pick up £20 notes after ploughing into her car.
Ty Kelsall, 22, smashed his hired white Vauxhall Corsa into the right-hand side of the victim’s vehicle, leaving her with fractures to her pelvis, spine and fibula, along with an injury to her sternum.
The woman, in her 50s, was trapped inside the car after Kelsall, who was driving at high speeds and without a licence, crushed her driver’s side door during the incident in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
Following the horror crash in May 2023, Kelsall was only arrested two months later when he was found in possession of 26 wraps of crack cocaine.
He was jailed for three years by a judge at Sheffield Crown Court on June 10, after he admitted to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and possessing Class A drugs at a previous hearing.
Kelsall was also banned from driving for three years with an 18-month extension to reflect the amount of time he is likely to spend behind bars.
And now horrific footage has emerged of him walking away after the devastating crash leaving his victim fighting for her life.
The woman can be seen in the CCTV clip driving down the suburban road in her mid blue car.
Kelsall’s Vauxhall can then be seen coming out of nowhere, speeding into view from the victim’s right after ignoring a give way sign at a crossroads.
It then collides at pace into the blue car, producing a sickening white cloud of smoke on impact.
The victim’s vehicle then goes hurtling into a nearby garden hedge, almost splitting it in half, while the Vauxhall comes to a halt with the car bonnet open.
Kelsall and three fellow passengers are then spotted ignoring the woman’s crushed car completely, calmly collecting some £20 notes strewn among the rubble while one of the group jogs away from the scene.
The four men in the Vauxhall also didn’t check on the woman after the horrendous impact.
Kelsall was subsequently charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving and possessing Class A drugs, both of which he pleaded guilty to at an earlier hearing at Sheffield Crown Court.
Speaking out for the first time since the crash, the victim – who does not want to be named – said she was ‘mortified’ to learn that the first thoughts of Kelsall was not to check on the other person involved in the collision, but to run off.
She said: ‘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.’
Kelsall only had access to the car after recruiting a friend to hire it on his behalf.
The victim only gave permission to share the video of the crash in a bid to make drivers ‘think twice’ about engaging in the same sort of driving as Kelsall, which has cost her so much.
She said: ‘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.’
