This is the moment a BMW driver rammed a motorcyclist off a bridge in a fit of road rage, leaving him with serious injuries.
Video footage released by police showed Nikesh Mistry, 34, forcing the motorcyclist onto the wrong side of the road as they drove side by side in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
He then squashed him between his silver BMW 320 and a metal bridge railing, while still on the wrong side of the road.
As the BMW collided with another car, the rider of the motorcycle was catapulted over the bridge and landed on trees and bushes below.
The motorcyclist, a man in his 40s from Oxley Park in Milton Keynes, sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridgeshire.
Mistry also caused serious injuries to the front passenger of the car he collided head on with as it travelled in the opposite direction.

The passenger was taken by ambulance to Milton Keynes University Hospital after the incident on November 19, 2022.
Mistry and the motorcyclist engaged in a non-verbal exchange before Mistry then recklessly used his car to force the motorcyclist onto the wrong side of Brickhill Street.
Mistry was sentenced to a total of four years and ten months in prison last week after pleading guilty to two counts of serious injury by dangerous driving.
He had also pleaded guilty to one count of causing grievous bodily harm with intent following a hearing at Aylesbury Crown Court.

Mistry is now disqualified from driving for four years and ten months – and will need to take an extended re-test before getting his licence back.
Investigating officer PC Phil McGlue of the Roads Policing Unit, said: ‘This case is an extreme example of road rage. Mistry was not in any immediate danger and chose to respond in a manner that was so violent and so disproportionate that he turned road disagreement into a very serious assault.
‘Drivers who behave in such a manner will be rigorously investigated and held to account for their actions and Mistry will now serve a prison sentence as a result of those decisions.’
