'Road rage' driver ran over man delivering washing machine after he was blocked by his lorry

A delivery driver was struck by a Mercedes blocked by his lorry as he delivered a washing machine. Mark Roberts, 48, was visibly injured after he was hit by driver David Lewis, 62, who then sped away.

CCTV footage showed Mr Roberts getting out of the lorry and walking towards Lewis's car. But the silver Mercedes then pulled out into the road and struck the grandfather who lay motionless on the floor.

The dangerous driver appeared at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday at a sentencing hearing which heard the defendant became enraged after being made to wait as the victim delivered a dishwasher. His behaviour was described as "road rage" by prosecutor Nuhu Gobir, when he ran over Mr Roberts in Lewis Street, Aberbargoed, Caerphilly.
