For once, I think you are too lenient.

Maybe if it wasn't the accident I thought it was.

There was probably no intent but that still makes it manslaughter. In the UK, you'd probably get more than 144 days for causing the death of a pedestrian. Then you have to factor in the fact that it was a hit and run.
