James Baker, a well-known Chichester runner, said: “Some crazy drivers in the rain today! Plenty of witnesses but the woman driver of the F reg 4x4 just drove off whilst I was lying in the road.”

Luckily James only cut his knee on the road but he added: “If I had cycled into the side of the car at 20mph it would have been worse.”
