A 39-year-old Australian woman was sentenced to 25 years in jail after police said she became so enraged that a man threw a snack food at her car that she intentionally ran him over and killed him.

Prosecutors say Sarah May Ward was drunk and high at the time of the incident after drinking two bottles of wine, smoking marijuana, and taking Ecstasy and Valium.

When 21-year-old Eli Westlake and a group of his friends threw cheese balls at her vehicle, police say she got out of the car and had a physical altercation with one of them before driving her car into the group; mowing down Westlake and killing him.

The woman denied trying to kill the man and says she was trying to get away from the group when she hit the accelerator by mistake.

She will be eligible for parole in 2027.
