Overview
- Andrew Robson, 33, denies murdering Paul Bowles, 50, after a roadside confrontation that escalated into a fight at the Elk Mill roundabout in Greater Manchester.
- Prosecutor Gordon Cole KC told jurors Robson deliberately veered his Transit van toward Mr Bowles, arguing he "lost his temper" and intended to inflict serious harm.
- Defence counsel Simon Csoka KC pointed to tyre-mark analysis he said was consistent with torque steer, calling the collision a "classic accident" under stressful driving conditions.
- Robson testified he was "scared to death," insisted he did not intend to hit Mr Bowles, and said he drove off because he wanted to get away from the situation.
- The jury is expected to retire on Friday to consider verdicts on murder and the alternative count of manslaughter.
