A raging Range Rover driver has been jailed after deliberately ramming a car in a pub car park before smashing into another vehicle and a stone building.

Dramatic CCTV shows Gavin Thorpe, 42, reversing his black SUV at speed into a Seat carrying three people.

The impact sends the car hurtling backwards before two men scramble out.

Thorpe then reverses at speed again, narrowly missing the Seat before ploughing into another parked vehicle.

His Range Rover then smashes into a stone outbuilding, causing part of the structure to collapse, as reported by Need To Know.

Bradford Crown Court heard the rampage was a revenge attack fuelled by “rage and anger” following an incident inside the pub.

Thorpe, a personal trainer of no fixed abode, has now been jailed for 23 months.

The incident unfolded at The Park pub in Wibsey, Bradford, on 15 June.

The court heard a woman had asked two other men for a lift rather than leaving with Thorpe following an incident inside the pub.

CCTV shows Thorpe getting behind the wheel of his Range Rover and initially driving towards the only exit from the car park.

He then reverses into the front of the Seat containing the woman and two men, shunting it backwards.

The two men get out before Thorpe reverses again at speed.

He misses their car but crashes into another vehicle before careering into the outbuilding.

Thorpe then got out and shouted abuse before throwing a brick towards the two men and fleeing the scene.

West Yorkshire Police said at the time that officers had been called to reports of a collision at 9.37pm.

Enquiries at the scene suggested the crash had been deliberate and the suspect had fled on foot.

A woman was found to have suffered minor injuries.

Thorpe later admitted dangerous driving, criminal damage and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

Sentencing him, Recorder Patrick Palmer said it was “perhaps nothing more than good luck” that nobody had been seriously injured.

Thorpe was jailed for 23 months.

He was also banned from driving for three years.
