Tesco road rage mum faces jail for mowing down man in car park row

A mum mowed down a complete stranger in a Tesco car park moments after they had a row. Victim Paramjip Malhi was sent flying through the air by Aimme Palmer's green Ford Fiesta and broke his ankle.

The incident at Birmingham's Hodge Hill superstore happened seconds after the pair had an altercation because the mother-of-two had nearly backed into him and said: "Can't you see I'm ******* reversing?", Birmingham Crown Court heard. Following a trial Palmer, aged, 27, of Gilson Drive, Coleshill, Warwickshire, was found guilty of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. She broke down in tears in the dock as she was told she now faces the prospect of prison.

BirminghamLive reported that the incident occurred at around 4pm on June 8 last year. Mr Malhi, a bus driver, recalled that he was about two feet away from the Fiesta when he saw the rear lights come on and the driver try to reverse. Asked if he heard anyone saying anything he said: "Yes, the driver of the green Fiesta, a female. She said: 'Can't you see I'm ******* r reversing?'. I was quite surprised. I held my shopping bag up as if to say: 'What the hell?'. I continued walking."
