BMW Reversal Leaves Student Traumatized | Manchester News

A student was horrifically injured in April 2021 when a BMW, driven by Ben Collins, reversed into her outside a pub—crushing her pelvis, collarbone, and shoulder and forcing her to miss a full year of university. The court revealed Collins reversed at speed after a masked man entered the car, and though he claimed self-defense, the jury found his actions deliberate. He fled the scene, crashed the car, and later faced conviction for dangerous driving—amplified by prior drug-driving offenses. Despite his family responsibilities and case delays, Collins received a two-year suspended sentence, community service, rehab, and a three-year driving ban, underscoring the devastating, long-term toll of reckless behavior on victims’ lives.
