A "loved" grandmother was killed in a car crash by a man who was released from jail only that morning – and now, the woman's husband is asking why it was allowed to happen.

Janet Tucker was heading home from her weekly bingo game when she crossed paths with Brandon Pavey-Rees.

Pavey-Rees had been released from jail that morning for driving offences.

Within minutes of being back at his mother's caravan park home, he had taken the keys to her black Holden Commodore, and taken off.

Police called off pursuits through the local streets as he reached speeds of 150km/hr.

He was captured on CCTV smashing into a telephone booth, before reversing and taking off again.

Minutes after that vision was caught, Pavey-Rees collided with Mrs Tucker's car as he drove up the wrong side of the road.

"She had nowhere to go," Mrs Tucker's husband Ray told A Current Affair .

"It was a narrow section where it was, there was an island in the middle of the road."

Ray Tucker said Pavey-Rees should never have been on the road. (A Current Affair)

Just seconds after the two cars collided, with Mrs Tucker lying unconscious in her vehicle, Pavey-Rees fled without checking on her.

He ran 100 metres down the road to where his mother lived, and hid.

He was arrested later that day and charged with manslaughter.

Pavey-Rees's history of offences includes dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, possess dangerous drugs, possess drug utensils, breach probation, and failing to stop for police.

He had also been disqualified from driving three times.

The day he got out of jail, he had just served two months of a 12-month sentence, after the magistrate ordered parole.

"I just can't believe, after I heard his record, and I heard in court about his attitude, and I watched him on the video links ... if I ever hated a person, it was this guy," Mr Tucker said.

The Tuckers married when she was 18 and he was 20.

They were planning to take an overseas holiday to celebrate their surviving cancer, when Mrs Tucker was killed.

Pavey-Rees was jailed for 10 years. (A Current Affair)

"I just watched this guy and I thought, 21 years old, you've just ruined your life, your an idiot, and you've taken my girl away from me," Mr Tucker said.

"I think to myself, this should never have happened. He should never have been on the road."

Criminal lawyer Bill Potts said in this case, consideration should “surely” have been given to allowing the parole board to decide about Pavey-Rees’ release, given past behaviour.
