A dangerous driver caused multiple crashes on the Prince of Wales Bridge and left another motorist with life-threatening injuries. He carried on driving and cleaned his car to evade capture but was found driving under the influence of cannabis the next day.
Jody Evans, 46, was driving westbound on the M4 in a Ford Transit van while working for Fast UK Parcel Ltd on October 28, 2020, while his victim Justin Osborne, a delivery driver of 29 years, was travelling eastbound. Other motorists saw the defendant driving at speed while overtaking and undertaking other cars.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday heard Evans attempted to undertake a Citroen car in a small gap but it was clear to witnesses his Transit van was too big. Describing the collision prosecutor Julia Cox said: "He barged into the lane and crashed into [a motorist's] vehicle. He hit the front passenger side of the Citroen and caused it to crash into the central reservation.
