THIS is the chilling moment a thug fled after mowing a mum down with a Mercedes and leaving her to die in a hit and run just before Christmas.<\/p>\n
Police CCTV footage has been released of John Brazil escaping after hitting his victim while driving at twice the speed limit.<\/p>\n
\n \n<\/p>\n
Brazil, who was banned from the road at the time, has now been jailed for nine years and nine months for causing the death by dangerous driving of "loving and generous" Anne Jones, 60.<\/p>\n
Her devastated family packed Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester for 28-year-old Brazil's sentencing.<\/p>\n
His trial heard told Brazil was "showing off" to a female friend in a Mercedes A180 which he was driving at up to 60mph in a 30mph zone in Rochdale on December 19 2021.<\/p>\n
Greater Manchester Police revealed footage of the moments before the collision, as Mrs Jones crossed the road – as well as clips showing the car speeding away.<\/p>\n
