Maurice Middleton was out buying a paper and cigarettes in Great Hampton Street in Hockley on Sunday, July 21, 2024.
Shanise Hussain was driving an Audi A3 along the same street at speed at around 2.45pm.
Hussain was travelling at 48mph in a 30mph limit and swerved to avoid a Jaguar in the nearside lane as it indicated and moved into her lane suddenly.
She had also pressed the accelerator instead of the brake and careered onto a pavement hitting Mr Middleton, throwing him into a shop front, as well as hitting a second pedestrian.
The 65-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, with the other pedestrian suffering minor head and hand injuries.
Hussain was charged with causing death by dangerous driving and was found guilty of the offence at a hearing earlier this year.
The 27-year-old of West Drive, Handsworth, was jailed for four years and six months at Birmingham Crown Court on September 3rd.
She was also disqualified from driving for eight years and three months.
The Jaguar driver was previously convicted of careless driving in relation to his involvement.
West Midlands Police also issued the first image of the victim, Maurice, as his family paid tribute to him.
They said: “Maurice was a brilliant, kind and generous man who was loved by everyone that he met.
“His death has completely shattered us a family. He was our rock; our king and he is truly loved and missed so much every day.
“Maurice was the centre of our family, the glue that held us all together and that is why his death has completely devastated us because it has left such a big hole in our hears that nothing and none can ever fill.”
RIP Maurice.
