A father-of-five was mowed down in a suspected hit-and-run road-rage attack in Stockport. Danielle Charnock, 38, said her husband Dave was "left for dead" after being "crushed" by a pick-up truck at the busy Portwood roundabout.
Dave, 41, got out of his car at traffic lights after the motorist hurled abuse and shouted "do you think you can cut me up?", it is claimed. Danielle said the "inhumane" truck driver then pinned him against the car and struck with such force that the truck dragged both Dave and his car, before leaving the scene.
Miraculously, the mechanic escaped with minor injuries after receiving a CT scan and 16 X-rays in hospital. Now, Danielle, from Stockport, is appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident, which happened at 3pm on May 4, to come forward.

Danielle told the Manchester Evening News: “He was sandwiched between a car and a pickup truck. The driver crushed him and left him for dead. It is shocking, inhuman behaviour.
“He builds camper vans [for a living]. He is a one-man-band and we are booked up until September.
"We have five children. It could have been a different story, but St John Ambulance were there at that time.”
A photo taken at the scene shows a silver VW Golf with a door bent backwards, which Danielle said was damaged in the attack.
She added: “My husband has got out of the vehicle at the lights and [the other driver] has got his car and moved towards him. He pinned Dave against the car door. He was driving so forcefully he was taking the car with him.
“I was shocked to see where he was [when he FaceTimed me]. He went to hospital, and I thought he was in a bed, but he was in re-sus. He went

Pussy Riot’s Masha Alyokhina has escaped from Russia as president Vladimir Putin continues to crack down on dissidents in the country.Alyokhina, along with her bandmates, has been arrested and imprisoned multiple times over the past decade and more for publicly protesting Putin’s rule, most recently last year when she was detained for 48 hours after attending protests encouraging others to protest on social media.Amid the continued Russian invasion of Ukraine, a new story in The New York Times reveals that Alyokhina was under house arrest and, when authorities decided to turn that into a 21-day jail sentence last month, she decided to flee Russia.The story outlines Alyokhina’s escape, which included posing as a food courier and being placed on Russia’s wanted list after being refused entry into Belarus on account of her Russian passport having been confiscated by authorities.The report then reveals that Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson was able to assist Alyokhina in getting her a travel document from a European country that allowed her to travel freely from Russia to the EU. It adds that she has now travelled to Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.“I still don’t understand completely what I’ve done,” she said in the piece.
