00:00 Hi, I'm Rachel Grealish and here are today's headlines.
00:04 A HGV driver died when he deliberately jumped in front of a lorry travelling through a Yorkshire
00:09 village notorious for the number of large good vehicles using its roads. An inquest
00:15 heard residents of Hickleton were campaigning for a bypass around the village as long ago
00:20 as 1901.
00:23 Police body cams captured the moment a 36-year-old man jumped over a car bonnet as he tried to
00:29 escape from police. The man was later arrested after police pursued him in a short car chase
00:36 and on foot.
00:40 And finally, Morrisons has announced that it has entered into an agreement for Motor
00:45 Fuel Group to acquire more than 300 of its petrol forecourts as well as more than 400
00:51 associated electric vehicle charging development sites in a £2.5 billion transaction.
