A WOMAN high on ice who hit a cyclist with her car and left him with “horrific” injuries has been sentenced to six years in a Victorian jail.
Rebekah Stewart, 24, had been taking ice when she drove on to the wrong side of the road in Ballarat in March 2016, hitting cyclist Christian Ashby head on.
Judge Michael McInerney sentenced Stewart to six years in jail, with a minimum of four years, after she pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing injury and failing to stop at an accident.
Mr Ashby, a former triathlete, was on a training ride when he was hit head on by Stewart who was driving down the wrong side of the road. Thirty-six-year-old Mr Ashby was thrown from his bike and left with devastating injuries.
*A light sentence, i'd say.
