THIS is the terrifying moment a driver deliberately smashed into two holidaymakers in a row over an Airbnb rental.
Ryan Jones and a 17-year-old boy were seen flying through the air after Johnathan Newbury ploughed a SUV into them.
The 33-year-old had armed himself with a zombie knife and was “intent on violence”; when he crashed into the pair.
Newbury had earlier discovered the he had rented in was accidentally double-booked.
He had been hanging out with a friend inside the property on July 4 when Ryan and the teen entered for their own stay.
A row broke out before the victims left the home when they were warned Newbury and his friend would “bonnet”; them.
Hellbent on revenge, four men were later spotted getting out of a dark SUV armed with weapons.
Newbury then got back in the car and followed the two men with the “clear aim”; of attacking them.
Both Ryan and the teen attempted to run but Newbury chased “at speed”; and drove on the wrong side of the road to mow the pair down.
He then fled the scene as the victims were left on the ground with serious injuries.
Ryan suffered injuries to his pelvis and right foot, while the 17-year-old lost consciousness and sustained injuries to his jaw, ribs, chest, and abdomen.
Newbury has now been jailed for ten years after he was found guilty of inflicting and attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm.
The thug was also convicted of having a blade but cleared of racially aggravated intentional harassment following a trial at Merthyr Tydfil Crown .
A judge said reports showed Newbury had not accepted his guilt and had shown “no remorse at all”;.
He will spend eight years in jail and two years on extended licence and, once released, he will be banned from driving for two years.
