Moment father is mowed down by e-biker - before rider leaves him lying in the road

A father was mowed down by an e-bike rider who left him lying unconscious in the middle of the road. Sam Bevan, 33, was crossing the road outside his home in Newport, South Wales, when he was knocked to the ground with force. He was left unconscious on the ground with a severe concussion, while the rider fled the scene. Mr Bevan had no recollection of the crash and only discovered what happened days later, when a neighbour discovered their CCTV camera had captured the incident. The footage shows Mr Bevan walking into the road before he is hit by the e-bike travelling the wrong way down a one-way street with no lights. Mr Bevan said: 'I had gone to my car to sort some stuff out in my boot and that is the last thing I remember. I had no memories of what happened whatsoever. 'Eventually when I was told, it was relief that I actually knew what had happened but at the same time frustration that I had been left in the middle of the road.' Mr Bevan went to the Grange Hospital in Cwmbran following the incident on November 11, but was unable to explain to doctors how he got his injuries. Mr Bevan said: 'They were telling me I couldn't drive for six months, I would have to have tests on my heart and brain. 'I was overwhelmed at that point because I just had no memory of it. The majority of my memory loss was a three-to-four-hour window. 'My stepfather was asking me my son's birthday and I couldn't remember. I was slightly upset at that, it was overwhelming.' Mr Bevan, who has been signed off from his job for four weeks, was finally able to fill in the gaps when two neighbours knocked on his door days later to say they had helped him when he was hit by the electric bike. He said: 'I have looked at the footage about 500 times but it still doesn't seem real to me. 'It could have been really serious, if that had been a child, an old person, someone with a smaller frame - I was quite lucky.' Mr Bevan says e-bikes are a big problem in his area after living on his street for 12 years. He said: 'There was the potential for someone not to see me - was I OK, was I seriously hurt? 'That's what's annoyed me, the disrespect and not being humane and checking up on someone.' He is now warning parents of the dangers of buying electric bikes as presents for their children. He added: 'I imagine they are going to be on lots of people's Christmas lists this year - I just hope people seeing this accident and will take a second look at buying them for their kids.' Gwent Police said it was investigating the incident and appealed for witnesses.
