HGV driver admits ramming cars

Advertisement

A Czech lorry driver who rammed several drivers in the outside lane of the M1 motorway has been jailed for 15 months.

Vitezslav Labouenek, 44, gave no explanation for his actions, which were described by one woman he smashed into in his 44-tonne lorry as "terrifying".

Motorway cameras capture Labouenek tail-gating a motorist for miles and police say they were amazed no-one was seriously hurt or killed.

Anthony Bartram reports.
