A teen passenger who encouraged a truck driver to run over a cyclist in Dunedin has apologised to the victim for his actions. An expletive-laden video posted to social media shows two employees of Clearwater Civil sitting in the cab of their truck as they travelled behind a cyclist in Portobello Rd on the Otago Peninsula. It was filmed by the employee sitting on the passenger side of the truck, who urges the driver to run over the cyclist, before unleashing a torrent of abuse at the unwitting rider. According to the company, the abuser is a 16-year-old contractor who works for Clearwater Civil Ltd. A still from a video showing two Clearwater Civil contractors threatening to run down a cyclist.
