Description
A van driver who deliberately ran over a cyclist while delivering blood to a hospital has been jailed for three years and six months.
Mark Okotie, 44, swerved into the path of a cyclist following an altercation on New Cross Road in Lewisham in March 2024. The cyclist, a man in his 20s, suffered multiple pelvic fractures and a broken thigh bone, requiring surgery.
More than two years on, the victim says he can no longer run as he used to and sometimes panics when he hears large vehicles approaching from behind.
