This is the shocking moment a father is swiftly mown down with his two-year-old daughter in his arms as he tried to cross the road while talking on his mobile phone.
The Bradford resident was caught unaware as the motorcyclist passed close to roadworks at the point where he was trying to cross and allegedly jumped a red light.
He was said to be on his way to collect a fish and chip takeaway as he crossed the road with his daughter and waited for the cars to pass.
