A MAN carried out a 'horrendous' rape on a woman before running her over with his car at a Southampton railway station.

Dylan Collins, 20, picked up the woman in his car late at night near St Denys station and drove into the car park.

She became concerned and tried to leave the car but Collins punched her in the face before raping her and biting her neck.

A member of the public heard the incident and ran to help so Collins jumped into his car and reversed over the victim's legs before fleeing the scene.

Police launched a search to track Collins down and caught him after chasing him on foot.

Collins, of Leighton Avenue, Southampton, was convicted of rape, causing actual bodily harm, and dangerous driving, and was jailed for eight years.
