In footage described as 'harrowing' by Surrey Police, a cyclist in her 70s is hit by drink driver Steven Selwood who then continues to drive over the seriously injured victim. The 44-year-old has been jailed for two years and three months cycling
The 43-year-old, a former professional cricketer who played for Middlesex and Derbyshire in the early 2000s, was convicted of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving whilst over the prescribed alcohol limit, and has been disqualified from driving for three years.
As another passer by ran to the scene from the car park Selwood had just driven out of, he fled in his vehicle, before walking back to the scene where he was identified by witnesses and arrested. "Not a night goes by without nightmares," she said in a victim impact statement."My life has changed considerably since I was knocked down off my cycle. I used to be outgoing, talking a lot to others, going to church, back-packing. I did my own DIY and gardening.
Investigating officer, sergeant Joe McGregor called the footage"shocking" and said he hopes it serves as a"stark reminder of the dangers posed by those who choose to drink and drive".
