Bicyclist Says Woman Tried To Run Him Over
\nWitnesses Corroborate Cyclist’s Story, Saying Driver Revved Up Engine To Hit Man Intentionally<\/p>\n

CHICAGO (CBS) – She hit him with her car, backed up, and went after him again. That’s how a local bicyclist describes what happened to him when he got into an argument with a woman on the road. Tonight, his bike is just a warped pile of metal. As CBS 2’s Vince Gerasole reports, police have a license plate number, but the driver’s still out there.<\/p>\n
His bike may be in pieces, but Tim Heath is lucky he’s not.<\/p>\n
"When someone is clearly, intentionally revving up to run you over, that’s really intimidating," said Heath.<\/p>\n
As Heath tells it, he got into a spat over lane space with a female motorist at the corner of Milwaukee and Diversey.<\/p>\n
"She had already tried to cut me off earlier," said Heath.<\/p>\n
The twisted story of what happened next seems classic road rage.<\/p>\n
"At that point, she got really aggravated, and started yelling and screaming, and threatening that she was gonna run me over," said Heath. "She came blasting forward, and luckily I had this bike between me and her, and the bike took the beating."
