A delivery driver's van was stolen moments before he was run over by the vehicle and dragged a 'considerable distance' down a main road. The 54-year-old man is currently in hospital in a critical condition after the attack on Tuesday which happened in the Cathays area of Cardiff.
Police closed the North Road in both directions for over nine hours, causing severe delays across the city, Wales Online reports. Laytonia Avenue was also closed and it has now emerged that the van was stolen from the street as the driver delivered parcels.
He was then hit by his own vehicle and dragged down the road for 0.6 miles before it came to a stop near Cathays High School. South Wales Police had previously said the incident involved a vehicle and a pedestrian and a white van had been seized for examination from the scene by a specialist recovery team.
