A family thought they were going to die after an angry driver swerved in front of them and attacked their car with a screwdriver. Mum Helen Webster, 50, of Sherwood, spoke as Vauxhall Insignia driver Steven Hind - the dad of her daughter's boyfriend - chased after them after leaving Rainworth on July 4, 2020.
Miss Webster was driving, her daughter Megan Webster was in the front passenger seat and boyfriend Sam Hind was in the back seat, behind Megan, when Hind senior suddenly appeared in his car behind them. Nottingham Justice Centre heard on Monday (October 10). Hind swerved in front of them - causing Miss Webster to brake sharply in her dark grey Ford Galaxy seven-seater people carrier.
Hind approached them with something in his hand - which appeared to be a screwdriver - and hit their wing mirror and door, inflicting £1,245.85 damage. Hind, a Class 1 HGV driver, drove off but was arrested and interviewed - accepting punching and kicking their car but denying he had a screwdriver.
