A learner driver was spared a lengthy jail sentence after she ran over and seriously injured an Amazon delivery driver during a driving lesson.

Semhar Fshaye left Aaron Francis with 'life changing' injuries after her Toyota Yaris, which had been fitted with L plates, skewed out of control and mounted the pavement after she mistakenly put her foot on the accelerator instead of the brake.

The 29-year-old, who at the time was four months pregnant, had been practising driving with a friend in the Kensington area of Liverpool at the start of the afternoon school run in December 2022.
