Aimee Marie Hall sentenced after admitting to running over motorbike rider and leaving the scene

A 32-year-old mother has been sentenced after she ran over a motorbike rider and fled the scene as he lay broken on the road with fluid leaking from his brain.

A western suburbs mother has been sentenced after she admitted to running down a motorcyclist before leaving the scene and then lying to police about her involvement.

Aimee Marie Hall, 32, appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Wednesday where she was sentenced for hitting motorbike rider Andrew Brown on October 29, 2022.

Magistrate Karim Soetratma said the victim was left with a severe concussion, resulting in short-term memory loss, and other long-term injuries.

“When you left him, he was lying on the ground on Anzac Hwy, as it turned out, his neck was broken and he had fluid leaking from his brain,” he said.

“A doctor later expressed the view that Mr Brown’s injuries would be considered life-threatening.

“In a bitter twist, his driver’s licence was suspended because of the injuries you caused him.”

Mr Soetratma said Mr Brown has been unable to work since the accident and doesn’t feel like the same person.

“I’m not the happy fun-loving person I was,” he said. “I miss what I was.”

Mr Soetratma said Hall left the scene of the crash after checking on Mr Brown, who at that time was with other people, and going back to her Sheidow Park home.

“Your memory is he was saying he was OK,” he said.

“You say you knew emergency services would attend, you say you believed Mr Brown was not seriously hurt.”

Mr Soetratma said he initially found it hard to understand why Hall was panicking but said, after viewing the dashcam footage, he had some understanding.

“I’m prepared to accept that the shockingly violent nature of the collision itself was emotionally traumatic,” he said.

“Your memory is someone told you, you could go so you did.”

Mr Soetratma said Hall left the scene knowing it was illegal to do so, before lying to police when they arrived at her house.

“The law required you to disclose to police … that you’d been involved in this collision,” he said.

“You left before police arrived, you didn’t tell anyone who you were.

“When police came to your home, you didn’t take that opportunity to admit you were the driver, you actually concealed your involvement in the collision before police told you they had video footage of your car.”

Mr Soetratma said Hall has shown remorse following the incident and understands the consequences of her actions.

Hall was sentenced to nine months imprisonment, which was suspended upon her entering a good-behaviour bond of two years.

Her licence was also disqualified for a period of ten years. She will not be eligible to drive a car until 2034.
