A WARRINGTON man has been jailed after deliberately driving into another vehicle during a road rage incident.
Alexander McColl, 28, Henshall Avenue, Latchford appeared at Chester Crown Court and was sentenced to 22 months for dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.
The sentence includes 12 months for these offences, plus the activation of a 10-month suspended sentence.
The court was told that a man called police to report damage to his black Audi vehicle, in Rudloe Court, Warrington.
It was reported that McColl had purposefully driven into the Audi following an altercation between him and the victim.
During the incident, the victim had stopped his vehicle to confront McColl about damage that had been sustained to his vehicle the previous night.
McColl then got into a white Ford Transit van and drove into the Audi, which was being driven by the victim at the time and had two children as passengers, causing scratches and dents, plus a smashed windscreen.
McColl did not have insurance in place and was also disqualified from driving.
He is now further disqualified from driving for two years and five months.
After the Hearing a police spokesperson said: ““McColl decided to foolishly try and use his vehicle as a weapon during an altercation which thankfully on this occasion only caused damage to a vehicle but could easily have injured someone.
“There is never any excuse for not respecting the rules of the road and McColl now has time to reflect on this in custody.”
