Aden was interviewed twice under caution and subsequently charged in December last year last year.
Last month at Harrow Crown Court she was convicted by a jury of causing death by careless driving.
She was sentenced today to 14 months in jail suspended for two years, banned from driving for 18 months starting on September 26, ordered to carry out 120 hours of community work within a year.
