A man has been jailed for four years after being found guilty of causing serious injury after a collision between his van, a car and a cyclist.
Stuart Hill, 39, a builder from Lippitts Hill, Loughton, was also found guilty of dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of an accident.
He was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court yesterday following the collision on July 12 in Epping New Road in Loughton.
The cyclist, a woman in her 30s, was left with serious injuries after a Citroen Berlingo van driven by Mr Hill collided with her.
The judge, Anthony Goldstaub QC, said that the collision was the result of “shockingly aggressive, ruthless road rage”.
Judge Goldstaub also disqualified Mr Hill from driving for three years and ordered him to pay £120 to the victim.
