Driver hits cyclist in Natchez Trace Parkway, Franklin, TN (Facebook video still).JPGVideo: Shocking moment driver rear-ends cyclist in Tennessee
Shocking footage from Tennessee that was posted to Facebook shows the moment the driver of an SUV rear-ended a cyclist, apparently on purpose.
The incident took place on Saturday on Natchez Trace Parkway in Franklin, Tennessee, a location administered by the National Park Service (NPS) and where there is signage highlighting that cyclists are entitled to use the entire width of the lane.
Writing on Facebook on Saturday, Greg Goodman said: "Three hours ago this person intentionally hit my friend Tyler Noe on Natchez Trace.
"We had a witness behind us who said he has seen this same Volvo try to hit someone else last week.
"Tyler is at the hospital and doing ok. He is one TOUGH DUDE!"
In a statement on Facebook, the NPS said that Marshall Grant Neely III, 58, from Franklin had been arrested on Saturday evening and charged with felony reckless endangerment, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to immediately notify of an accident and failure to render aid.
It added that NPS park rangers would be meeting with the U.S. Attorney's Office to consider additional federal charges.

TBF I think that's before she saw the light and got on her bike. Not so great if her views have been informed by Mr. Briggs though.

Why? It doesn't appear to touch the ground or the car.
The irony of it all...
Or is this also ironically being ironic...
I'm not sure if the original comment was irony? Or wasn't it?
Let's start another helmet debate and really get the clicks going!
I assumed irony (naturally), but now I'm not so sure...
Alas, if only he'd been wearing high viz.
#QED.
QED what?
But it does appear to hit the ground..?
Wearing a helemt and no head injury.

No they don't, look at the data, not the "helmet saved my life" stories.
Is this the full half hour argument or just the five minute one? I was only joking about starting another helmet debate, but some people just don't understand irony or humour I suppose.
You need to watch more carefully. The back of his hemmet clearly hits the ground as he rolls on his back
Having said that, I don't think his helmet saved him from any injury in this situation
Unbelievable that someone would think it's fine to use a two tonne metal box to hurl a human being out of their way. I hope he gets jail time for that. Lunatic.
That guy was lucky
Why not attempted murder? Looked pretty deliberate to me
