Pregnant driver forced into oncoming traffic after Mansfield road rage incident
A pregnant driver was forced onto the opposite side of the road into oncoming traffic following a road rage incident.
The victim, who was 38 weeks pregnant, was driving a blue Volkswagen T-Cross when the incident happened on Violet Hill, Mansfield, at 5.39pm on Wednesday, June 5.
She was in a filter lane going towards Oak Tree Lane when a male driver on her left, who was in a white Audi A3, wouldn’t let her in.
Although the vehicles didn’t touch, she was forced into oncoming traffic.
There was no collision, but the man then reportedly wound his window down, shouted abuse at her and made obscene gestures towards her.
