He's been sentenced to 14 years and six months behind bars
A van driver killed a man by repeatedly running him over in Skegness. Jonathan Wilson, 34, of Woodthorpe Avenue, Boston, was sentenced to 14 years and six months behind bars at Lincoln Crown Court on Monday, December 12.
He was rushed to hospital and sadly died on November 18. Another man, Jamie Cram, 21, was also injured. His injuries were not life threatening. Wilson was then approached by another man later in the day, the court heard. When approached by a man who asked if he was okay, Wilson ran at him with the metal poles.
Ms Goddard said: "Mr Cram estimated the speed of the van as between 40 and 50 miles per hour and believed that the van was driven deliberately at him." This caused perpetration to his bowel and a fractured wrist. Wilson then fled onto the A52 near Friskney. "A pursuit lasted about 15 minutes with defendant driving the van in an increasingly frantic manner," Ms Goddard said.
Ms Goddard added: "It was clear to the police that the defendant was displaying a degree of mental instability."The court heard Wilson’s psychosis was a direct result of a misuse of controlled drugs, namely cannabis. One doctor, Dr Green, had said that Wilson had paranoid schizophrenia.
