A cyclist was left injured when a Land Rover driver reversed into him on a country road.
Alexander Turner was out riding with a friend in Northumberland when Rhys Bell swore at them and shouted loudly for them to get out of the way. As he drove past, Mr Turner slapped his car, a court heard.
Bell them stopped and reversed, crashing into Mr Turner, leaving him injured and writing off his bike. Bell then fled the scene of the collision, with the cyclist lying in the road. Bell, 22, was found not guilty of dangerous driving by a jury but convicted of careless driving and admitted failing to stop after an accident.
