A South Shields motorcyclist's life was changed forever when a car ran over his body moments after he was knocked off his bike.
Mark McCourt only had seconds to react when he was in a collision with a car as he rode along a country lane near Middleton-in-Teesdale, County Durham, in April last year. The 39-year-old said he tried to steer around the car, but they collided, throwing him off his bike, over the bonnet, and skidding along the road.
As Mark lay conscious face down on the road, the car continued to move in his direction and ran over his midriff, crushing his pelvic area and the force flipping him onto his back.
