A biker was left lying on the road with his bone on show after a drunken Audi driver crashed into him.
Jozef Plavnicky, 42, was trying to make an illegal manoeuvre by ignoring a no U-turn sign when his Audi A3 “jumped forward” and crashed into a man on a motorbike. Liverpool Crown Court heard the biker Aston Connerty, who was just ten yards away, was knocked from his bike and suffered a life-changing injury to his right foot.
He was left lying in the road with the bone in his foot exposed and members of the public came to his aid. It was feared he would have to have his foot amputated, but doctors were able to save it.
