Sandra Lee was chasing a male who was carrying a backpack down a street in Batley, West Yorks, when passing driver Sian Humphrey lost control of her car and collided with the 56-year-old. Mrs Lee, who had three children, four foster children and a second grandchild on the way, was actually chasing her foster son and he now blames himself for running away, the court heard. Humphreys, 39, was described in court as an 'ordinarily cautious driver' who 'would have done anything for someone in need'. 'You ended up being responsible for the death of another lady who herself was doing what came instinctively to her - namely caring for one of her foster children who was running away from her at that moment.' He added that she could have made 'different decisions', such as pulling over and turning the car around safely or braking when she realised she lost control of the car.
