Man jailed for deliberately knocking down cyclist

A driver who deliberately drove into a cyclist, leaving him with broken ribs and a punctured lung, has been jailed for two years.

The incident in Selby, North Yorkshire, was captured on the rider's handlebar-cam.

North Yorkshire Police said William Status Heslop, 33, was driving his Vauxhall Insignia along Ousegate in the town on June 26 last year when he turned into Barlby Road at the same time as the 55-year-old cyclist.
