Footage shows moment Welsh cyclist is hit by van driver
Footage shows moment Welsh cyclist is hit by van driver Cyclist David Walters was left in a back brace for three months and has long-term complications after he was hit by driver Wayne Adams Shocking video footage shows the moment a van driver ploughed into a helpless cyclist at speed. David Walter, 46, was on his way to work cycling his usual route through Bridgend on the B4280 when he was struck by 60-year-old Wayne Adams. Footage shows Adams approaching the cyclist without deviating at all on the road and colliding with David. Earlier footage showed how a number of motorists were comfortably able to navigate their way around David safely but Adams claimed later to police that he couldn't see David on his bike due to low sunlight that morning. Last month Adams avoided a prison sentence at Cardiff Crown Court, instead being given a 24-month community order with 150 hours of unpaid work. He was also disqualified from driving for a year while David was left in a back brace for months and might never fully recover. Don't miss a court report by signing up to our crime newsletter here After being hit by Adams David, who had been doing everything correctly and was wearing a hi-vis jacket and had flashing lights on his bike, ruptured part of his spine, broke five ribs, cracked his sternum, and suffered excessive internal bleeding. He spent two weeks in hospital and the next three months in a brace and has many longer-term issues resulting from the crash. Adams continued to drive after hitting David, later claiming he had thought he'd probably hit a sheep. He said he returned to the scene of the collision after he'd seen the extent of the damage to his car. Sharing the footage David told WalesOnline: 'Having spent three months in a back brace trying to recover from this I now have metalwork in my back. Before this I'd never even had back pain before and now I have to live with it every day. Article continues below 'At work I have to stand up at my desk. I'm sleeping very differently now and can only sleep straight on my back or on my side with a pillow between my legs. It never leaves you. People see me back on my bike and think it's fine but it isn't that simple.' David said he blacked out for around 20 seconds after the collision and had to have a back brace for three months (Image: David Walters ) After he was hit by Adams' van David said he 'blacked out' for around 20 seconds and when he came around he was on the side of the road and unable to move. An ambulance didn't arrive at the scene until five hours later. 'I was on my usual Monday morning commute. I'm an experienced long-distance cyclist and had been training at the time for the Paris-Brest-Paris 1,200km cycling event. 'I did remember thinking the sun was a bit low that morning but it was nothing out of the ordinary and I wasn't concerned. Lots of cars passed me that morning with no issues at all and you can see one pass me very well in the footage. 'Then Adams ploughs straight into me at high speed. All I remember was a thud to be honest and then I fully blacked out – 20 seconds later I'm lying on the floor unable to move.' David said he hopes his story helps motorists to reflect on their driving. He said daily he gets 'close calls' and on some days he feels scared to cycle. 'It's a safety awareness thing. I know it'll create debate and people will say cyclists shouldn't be on the road which is ridiculous. It's appalling to read that kind of thing. How would you treat a horse rider or another road user? It's no different. 'It's this: 'I must get in front mentality' which is wrong. Often a driver will get in front of me to then just sit in a queue but they're happy because they got in front. It's about just staying calm and thinking about your next move more.' David has now made somewhat of a recovery meaning he can ride again but he says it will stay with him forever (Image: David Walters ) Adams, of Glyn Street in Ogmore Vale and who is a self-employed bricklayer, pleaded guilty to causing serious injury by careless driving. The court heard he had previous convictions for eight offences dating back to the 1980s and 1990s. David added: "While I'm relieved there was a conviction it's frustrating that he was able to carry on with life as normal while I was dealing with the physical and emotional aftermath – surgeries, pain, trauma, and uncertainty. Article continues below "My partner Sarah was at my side throughout, taking time off work to care for me at home, helping with even basic things like washing, dressing, and moving. The emotional toll on her was enormous. I want others to see the reality of what even one lapse in attention can cause."

Full list as drivers in 10 UK areas told 'take extra steps'
The UK's hotspots have been revealed London has been dubbed the UK's car theft capital, according to a new study that analysed official police data. In 2024, the Metropolitan Police logged 34,000 instances of stolen vehicles across the city, equating to one theft for every 88 vehicles in the Greater London area. The City of London Police also reported a similarly high rate of one theft for every 96 vehicles in the area, making London's police forces the two highest ratios of vehicles per theft in the UK. This suggests that vehicle owners in the capital are most at risk of having their car nicked and should take extra precautions to keep it secure. The figures were compiled by car insurance, which used official Home Office data and a Freedom of Information request to the UK's police forces. These were combined with Department for Transport and DVLA figures on the number of registered vehicles in each area to calculate where thefts occur most frequently. Essex, one of London's neighbouring areas, was also identified as a significant hotspot for this crime. Approximately 5,700 vehicles were nicked in the county last year, equal to one theft for every 177 vehicles - the fifth highest ratio in the UK. Yorkshire vehicle owners appear to be at risk, with two of the region's areas featuring in the top 10. South Yorkshire experienced a total of 4,603 thefts in 2024, equating to one for every 167 vehicles, placing it fifth in the rankings. West Yorkshire Police logged around 1,400 more thefts (6,029 in total), equivalent to one for every 227 vehicles - the UK's sixth highest ratio. The West Midlands recorded the third-highest ratio of thefts, with one for every 110 cars. Bedfordshire, Nottinghamshire, Durham and Leicestershire also ranked highly, each with a theft for every 250 to 260 vehicles in 2024. The UK average was just one theft for every 287 vehicles, and approximately 133,000 vehicle thefts were reported across the country in total. Worst areas for vehicle thefts by number of vehicles per theft London Metropolitan (Greater London) - 88 City of London - 91 West Midlands - 110 South Yorkshire - 167 Essex - 177 West Yorkshire - 227 Bedfordshire - 251 Nottinghamshire - 255 Durham - 259 Leicestershire - 260 In contrast, several southern regions were found to be among the UK's safest for vehicle thefts. Suffolk was named the most secure overall, with just 321 thefts reported in 2024. Equal to only one for every 1,752 vehicles, the county boasts by far the lowest ratio in the country. Nearby Norfolk also had fewer instances of this crime, with just one theft for every 1,072 vehicles - the joint fifth lowest in the country. Other southern areas in the top 10 include Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Devon and Cornwall. Welsh regions also look to be safer for vehicle thefts. Dyfed Powys Police have the second-lowest ratio in the UK, with just one theft for every 1,666 vehicles in the area and 248 thefts overall. There were almost 200 more thefts reported by North Wales in 2024, but this is still only one for every 1,094 vehicles in the area - the UK's fourth lowest ratio. Safest areas for vehicle thefts by number of vehicles per theft Suffolk - 1,752 Dyfed-Powys - 1,666 Cumbria - 1,251 North Wales - 1,094 Northern Ireland - 1,072 Norfolk - 1,072 Wiltshire - 763 Lincolnshire - 722 Gloucestershire - 705 Devon and Cornwall - 661 Steve Ramsey, managing editor for motoring at said: 'Our latest research clearly highlights that some areas are worse than others when it comes to car thefts. While there's no need to panic if you live in one of the hotspots, you should take some extra steps to protect your car. 'Investing in anti-theft measures like a Thatcham-approved alarm, steering lock, or other gadgets can help keep it secure. Always park in well-lit, CCTV-monitored areas or in a garage if you can. Plus, keep your keys away from the front door and out of sight to avoid attracting thieves' attention. It's also important you get the right level of protection for your car, as third-party only policies don't offer cover for theft. 'Unfortunately, crime rates do impact insurance prices, so you might pay a higher premium if you live in an area where car theft is more common. Claiming for a theft could result in increased costs, too, but comparing policies makes sure that the impact on your wallet is kept to a minimum.' About the data The findings were based on official police data, sourced via a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to UK police forces. For constabularies that didn't provide data, figures were sourced from Home Office crime figures instead. For each police force, the researchers divided the number of vehicle thefts reported in 2024 by the number of registered vehicles in the area at the end of Q2 2024 - the latest figures available at the time of writing - according to DVLA and DfT data (table VEH0105). This number was multiplied by 1,000 to give the number of thefts per thousand vehicles. The experts then divided 1,000 by this number to give the number of vehicles per theft.

Student who made genocide claim in pillowcase protest at graduation launches legal battle
Student who made genocide claim in pillowcase protest at graduation launches legal battle Aishah AlBader has taken the first step in civil proceedings against Bangor University for what she claims was assault/battery, false imprisonment, and for violating her right to freedom of expression Aishah AlBader, a former graduate student at Bangor University has launched legal action against the university (Image: Aishah AlBader ) A former student who was dragged off stage at her graduation from a Welsh university for making a Palestine protest is taking legal action against it saying it violated her right to freedom of expression. Aishah AlBader, former graduate student, has taken the first step in civil proceedings against Bangor University for what she claims was assault/battery, false imprisonment, and for violating her right to freedom of expression. The Kuwaiti national has hired London legal firm Gold Jennings to represent her. Aishah's lawyers Alexander Hogg and Jessica Harrison said the claim arises from her graduation last year when Aishah intended to peacefully protest Bangor University's investments in companies claimed to be "complicit in human rights violations against Palestinians and the unlawful occupation of Palestine". In a 20-page letter, sent to Bangor University, Aishah says she was forcibly removed from the stage by security guards when she tried to peacefully protest. Sign up for our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here. (Image: Aishah AlBader ) Article continues below She refused to shake the Vice Chancellor's hand, handing him a leaflet about the university's investments, and walked across the stage with a pillowcase bearing the message 'Bangor University invests in Genocide.' Aishah said: 'As I walked up to graduate, I could only think of Gaza — of the students who will never get to graduate, whose lives, dreams, and hopes have been destroyed under Israel's ongoing genocide. Tens of thousands have been killed, entire families wiped out, and schools and universities reduced to rubble. "Knowing that Bangor University continues to invest in companies complicit in this devastation, I felt I could not simply accept my degree in silence. I knew I had to use that platform to centre those oppressed and dehumanised in Palestine. So, I held up a pillowcase reading 'Bangor University invests in genocide'. "In response, I was dragged off stage, injured, and humiliated. I lost professional opportunities I had worked hard to earn and lived in fear and uncertainty of the future. "My parents travelled thousands of miles to watch my graduation, and it should have been a moment of joy and pride. I don't believe that holding a pillowcase should ever provoke violence and the pillowcase I held at my graduation revealed a truth that the university is desperate to hide. "By bringing this case, I hope to affirm that no student should be punished for speaking out against injustices across the globe and in Palestine.' Her legal team said: "instead of facilitating Ms AlBader's non-disruptive and peaceful protest, around four university security officers forcibly dragged her from the stage before removing her from the building. She sustained physical injuries from the incident. "Our client was part of the movement on Bangor University's campus to end the university's continued investments in companies on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions list. Her protest was intended to highlight the university's financial ties to firms complicit in what the International Court of Justice found in January 2024 is a plausible genocide in Gaza and the unlawful occupation of Palestine. "Gold Jennings has been instructed by Ms AlBader to bring a civil claim for assault/battery, false imprisonment, and breach of her rights under Article 8 and 10 ECHR. As things stand, we have sent a letter of claim to Bangor University and are awaiting the university's response." Alexander Hogg of Gold Jennings said: 'Safeguarding freedom of expression and the right to protest requires upholding them not only when it is convenient but when it is uncomfortable – such as during graduation ceremonies, when principled students draw much needed public attention to universities' unethical investments. "Moreover, ensuring that universities are held to account when they violate students' right to protest and free speech, such as in the case of my client, not only protects the right to protest and speak out against what is happening in Palestine, it protects the right to protest and speak out on all issues of public importance for everyone. "My client has taken a brave and first step in holding Bangor University accountable for preventing her from exercising her right to freedom of speech.' A Bangor University spokesperson said: "We're aware of a claim, as this is an ongoing matter we are unable to comment." Protest groups staged encampments and occupations at universities across the UK, including Bangor and Cardiff last academic year. A Palestine protest camp was set up on university land outside the Pontio building in Bangor in May 2024 and lasted a year before the university issued an eviction notice in May this year and then a possession order in June. The "notice to vacate" was handed to the protestors but as the deadline to vacate passed without compliance, the university said it "made the difficult decision" to seek a "possession order" through the court, which was granted on June 12. A Bangor University spokesperson said at the time: "This legal action was a necessary step to bring an end to the ongoing disruption to university property and operations. Our priority remains towards ensuring a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all members of our community." Protesters also occupied a site at Cardiff University's Main Building for 56 days in support of Palestine (Image: John Myers ) A statement o the university's website, posted in May 2024 and still there, says: "Bangor University has an ethical and sustainable investments policy. The university does not choose individual investments itself but has a framework that our investment managers use to create our portfolio. "Our policy stipulates that we expect a high level of environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) measures to be in place for any potential investment. The university also screens out potential investments in weapons, armaments, alcohol, gambling, tobacco, adult entertainment and fossil fuel companies. "Bangor University is currently reviewing this investment policy, with initial discussions having already taken place at the investment committee of which the President of the Bangor University Students' Union is a member. "The university expects that the policy review will be completed over the summer, and that the revised investment policy will be used as a framework by its investment managers to guide future decisions." Action was also taken to end a Palestine protest camp at Cardiff University. Anyone picketing on Cardiff University property risks being jailed following a High Court injunction obtained in response to the now-disbanded Palestine camp outside the main building. Cardiff University denied it is banning free speech or legitimate protest and said the injunction was needed to keep the campus secure. Article continues below
