A woman has been arrested following a collision in Knossington on Tuesday morning (25 October).
Police were called to Braunston Road shortly before midday following a report a woman in her 40s had been struck by a car – a grey Mercedes.
The victim was taken to hospital to be treated for injuries that were not life-threatening or life-changing. She has since been discharged and officers are in regular contact with her.
A 59-year-old woman, from Knossington, was arrested on suspicion of attempted wounding with intent yesterday evening (Wednesday). She has since been released under investigation.
The vehicle involved in the collision has also been recovered by police.
Detective Inspector Charles Edwards said: “Our investigation into the incident is continuing and we’ve spoken to a number of witnesses who were in the area at the time.
“I’m aware of the concern this incident has raised and we’ll provide further updates as our enquiries progress.”

Sorry, am I missing something - where's the bit she knocks someone down? Admit I didn't have sound on as at work but camera doesn't show any evidence of anyone getting hit.
Put the sound on mate.
That's horrific.
You can hear a thud and someone being thrown to the left of the car
Doesn't look like contact was made - rather they dove out of the way. Regardless reckless & dangerous from the driver it appears.
edit. there does appear to be a sound of an impact. My speakers were doing there not working trick..
Ah, you've edited the original post to add more than a link.
The lady in the car had 2 kids in the back as well.
Jesus.
I find it hard to believe that these hunts where a fox never ever gets killed obviously* is still a "thing" in the 21st century.
*If only that were true!
Pretty sure I seen another (closer) angle of this that shows them bouncing off the bonnet. It's really bad. Not a gentle nudge by any means, but proper attempted murder.
arrested on suspicion of attempted wounding with intent
That carries a hefty charge..

Did you two not see the three pointed star on the car.... 🙄
The perp is rich establishment. Vanishingly small chance that she'll face any sort of justice 🙁
The mere fact that they use the term " collision" kinda vindicates that view.
Seen worse on the school run in the morning 😂
Happens all the time. Back in the day as a sab I lost count of the number of times they drove cars or landrovers at me at speed. Luckily I always managed to get out of the way.
That carries a hefty charge..
She'll get away with it. They always do.
Can we crowdfund a proper prosecution?
The perp is rich establishment.
I can't and won't defend what she did but really?? Looks like the sort of car regularly seen on the school run at any school in the country that no one would blink an eye at under any other circumstances.
OK, after the second video i've not seen that on the school run 😲
Attempted murder surely?!
Holy shit that was awful. there is no way, with footage like that they cannot be charged

Attempted murder surely?!
With the current government i'd expect the injured party to be charged with criminal damage!
Can we crowdfund a proper prosecution?
Probably unnecessary. If she's not charged and convicted then the sabs will know who she is. One way or the other she'll end up regretting her actions.
Thats ****ing awful. Hope she gets banged up.
But I have a mercedes and I'm certainly not rich establishment. In fact I'm not even sure I earn national average salary...
Holy f@“k.
I’m not someone to be prone to jumping to heavy sentences, but how can that not be seen as attempted murder?
I fully expect the driver to say they felt threatened so drove away hastily and accidentally hit someone.
Jesus, that second video is bad. 😧
I suppose if blood had been drawn, she’d have doused the kids with it…that’s the kind of thing they do isn’t it?
"I was frightened for my life, so i drove away to protect myself and my kids."
I'd put a small wager on that being the gist of the defence... If it even gets to trial.
Can we crowdfund a proper prosecution?
Can think of other things worth crowd funding to stop the hunts.... Probably illegal, mind.
Being hit from behind by a speeding car in broad daylight on a straight road with clear line of sight. Got to be charged with some motoring offence at least, if not something more serious.
Can't see any way that's anything but attemped murder.
Hopefully she's put away fir a long time and this mobilises more people against these scum.
That's horrific!
Think in cases when people use cars as weapons they should be crushed & the driver given a lifetime ban.
“I was frightened for my life, so i drove away to protect myself and my kids.”
I’d put a small wager on that being the gist of the defence… If it even gets to trial.
The first video where she's calmly getting into her car and then driving off at speed won't help that argument!
That last video above, jesus that's horrifying! Not even attempt to avoid a person who was moving out of the way. That should/has to be a custodial sentence.
*Speechless* This'll be happening to Just Stop Oil protestors before long, won't it. 🙁
This country is screwed.
Aside from how utterly shocking that second video is...
The victim was taken to hospital to be treated for injuries that were not life-threatening or life-changing
Exactly how many shredded wheat does that woman have for breakfast?
Seriously deranged driver there, especially with kids in the car. Should be banged up for sure
It won't be charged as attempted murder because there needs to be a demonstration of intent. In this case it looks like they can demonstrate intent to assault - driving into someone in broad daylight on a straight road at speed and then f***ing off, but how do you prove she intended to kill the protester?
There will probably be additional charges, if her kids were in the car then there may be some reckless endangerment charges
Think in cases when people use cars as weapons they should be crushed
FTFY
🙂
Awful. I'm sure the defence will be "I feared for my life and was protecting my kids" or similar.
Can we crowdfund a proper prosecution?
Eh? There's already a publically funded prosecution service, who appear to be progressing this why would you want to add confusion by crowd funding?
The perp is rich establishment. Vanishingly small chance that she’ll face any sort of justice 🙁
The driver will almost certainly face the judicial system. You may or may not see that as "justice" but that system is really not set up to let people off scot-free because of who they are. I'm confident that this sort of case will not be brushed under the carpet, in a modern everything is on youtube before the police have even responded to the 999 call its very hard to bury a case. But of course, if the driver pleads not guilty it will take years because the entire justice system is massively underfunded because it only exists to punish the poor/stupid/disadvantaged/etc so is an easy target for budget cuts.
The mere fact that they use the term ” collision” kinda vindicates that view.
Or its carefully worded so as not to give any defence solicitor a claim that the media prejudiced any prosecution?
She’ll get away with it. They always do.
I doubt it - there's rather a lot of video evidence and eyewitnesses who if they stick to the facts will be credible and reliable witnesses. Now, assuming it proceeds to conviction she may well appear to get off lightly because your justice system likes a suspended sentence, which your media likes to describe as walking free; and any driving ban has less impact on people who are well off than those who are not.
That second video.
Holy sh*t, she is lucky to not be seriously injured or dead.
How do the courts view the following when comparing this to the Harry Dunn case.
Intent but does not result in death vs no intent but results in death?
It won’t be charged as attempted murder because there needs to be a demonstration of intent. In this case it looks like they can demonstrate intent to assault – driving into someone in broad daylight on a straight road at speed and then f***ing off, but how do you prove she intended to kill the protester?
I'm not sure you have to - not sure on attempted vs 'successful' but if the intent is to cause GBH but you overcook it and the victim dies that is still murder, not manslaughter.
Can driving a car at speed at someone meet the definition of intending murder, by parallel to the above the fact it didn't maim or kill shouldn't lessen the offense in my eyes - anyone can see what the result could have been whatever the actual intent
Not life changing injuries? I think I'd be mentally changed for life if that happened to me.
A hunt master, a chief constable and a judge walk into a golf club...
The perp is rich establishment. Vanishingly small chance that she’ll face any sort of justice
Yup, dont expect this to amount to anything other than a small fine.
Defence with say - driver was scared of the saboteur was frightening her kids, or something that pushes the blame towards the protestors, or lost control due to the mud. But either way and while we can be assured it was a deliberate act, the driver will walk away scot free.
Awful. I’m sure the defence will be “I feared for my life and was protecting my kids” or similar.
Even if it was Michael Myers you'd make some attempt to drive around him. I can't see any justifiable defence here.
Max sentence of life. My thoughts are if guilty it could be between 6-10yrs. Much water to go under the bridge before then mind.
