Harrowing CCTV shows moment driver knocks down cyclist - who lost leg as result of collision

Harrowing CCTV shows the moment a driver knocked down a cyclist - who lost a leg as a result of the collision - before selling her car to hide her role in the hit-and-run incident.

 At around 2.25am on August 5 2022, Savannah Roberts, driving her Ford Fiesta, collided with a cyclist when driving up Penarth Road in Cardiff - knocking the rider off his bicycle and causing serious injuries. Roberts did stop and return to the victim however she then drove off - leaving the victim lying on the roadside asking for help.

The cyclist was taken to the University Hospital of Wales before being transferred to Morriston Hospital in Swansea, where he had to have a leg amputated.

After the collision, Roberts sold the car to try and hide any link to her and the incident. But after extensive enquiries, the car was linked to Roberts and she was arrested, after being seen to be driving through a red light.

On September 5, at Cardiff Crown Court, Savannah Roberts, 27, from Penarth, was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison for causing serious injury by careless driving and perverting the course of justice.
