A cab driver who ran into an elderly woman, breaking her leg and hospitalising her for eight months, has walked from court with a $1500 fine. Manvir Singh Attal, 36, claimed it was an accident and thought he had put his cab in park before it lurched into Kathy Williamson, 75, at a Coomera shopping centre on November 2 last year. Attal pleaded guilty in the Southport Magistrates Court on Tuesday to driving without due care and attention causing grievous bodily harm. Outside court, Mrs Williamson’s daughter Alex Evans was left in disbelief about the sentence. “He has just ruined her life and he has walked about with $1500,” she said. Ms Evans said her mother was still in hospital, needed a wheelchair and was still in agony.
