A motorist who opened his car door into a cyclist to brush sausage roll crumbs off his lap has been fined and ordered to pay costs after admitting to a charge of opening a car door to endanger or injure a person, the Mirror reported.
Benjamin Dearman-Baker had been riding at around 20mph at the time of the incident, which took place on July 29 last year. He was sent flying across the road, and was left with a fractured foot and torn ligaments. He was treated at the scene by paramedics who happened to be in the vicinity, before being taken to hospital.
