Overview
- Tahira Shaheen, 52, hit 12-year-old Alexis Lloyd at a school crossing in June 2023, causing a broken leg and collarbone, then left the scene.
- The District Court of WA imposed a 16-month term with parole eligibility after eight months.
- She held only a learner permit, drove unsupervised without L plates, and later gained a full licence while the case was pending.
- Investigators identified her nearly two months later through CCTV images and eyewitness accounts.
- Prosecutors accepted a suspended sentence might suffice, yet Judge Laura Christian ordered prison and a two-year licence disqualification upon release.
