A 22-year-old man, Braden Lynam, has been convicted for deliberately driving his car into two pedestrians and subsequently evading the police. The incident, which occurred in South Western Road in Salisbury last month, resulted in severe injuries to the victims.
Lynam was involved in a physical altercation with a man in his 40s before driving at high speed towards him and a woman in her 20s who attempted to intervene. As a result, the male victim suffered life-changing injuries, while the female victim sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Following the incident, Lynam abandoned his vehicle and evaded police before being apprehended on March 31. He has pleaded guilty to charges of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
