Three men guilty of a horror hit and run murder bid have been jailed for a total of more than 30 years.
Robert Graham was mowed down by a silver Toyota Yaris as he crossed the street in Springbank Road, Paisley in Renfrewshire on 21st April, 2022.
The then 37-year-old was targeted following an earlier dispute.
Stuart Lindsay, 31, David Sherry, 36, and Daniel Millan, 27, were convicted of attempted murder in March.
The trio returned to the High Court in Glasgow to be sentenced by judge Lord Mulholland.
Lindsay and Sherry were each jailed for 12 years while Millan was sentenced to 10 and a half years.
Prosecutors said the trio, along with two others, had all acted together as part of a “co-ordinated plan to inflict violence” on Graham that evening.
Jurors heard how the Yaris and an Audi, driven by Lindsay, had gone to Paisley in convoy.
Graham was said to have been effectively lured to the scene.
He was seen speaking to the driver of the Audi moments before the attack.
It was then that the Yaris “came out of nowhere” and ploughed into him as he crossed the road.
In his closing speech, prosecutor Michael Macintosh told jurors: “Robert Graham was sent up into the air. The Audi drove off so quickly that (a witness) thought it was that car which hit him.
“The Audi had drove off before Robert Graham had even hit the ground, but it was the Yaris that struck him.”
The Yaris was then wiped down and torched at Airlink Industrial Estate in Paisley.
Sherry had been clocked getting out the motor before it was set on fire clutching a weapon.
The five-strong gang all then fled from the area in the Audi.
Lindsay was a friend of another member of the group, John Wallace, who has since died.
He claimed Wallace had got him involved under “false pretences.”
Mr Macintosh suggested that if Lindsay had no idea what was to happen that day, he might, at least, have stopped to check on Graham or called for help.
The advocate depute said: “Instead, Robert Graham had not even touched the ground and Mr Lindsay had sped off.”
Sherry admitted to being a passenger in the Yaris, but claimed he was only aware of any collision when it actually happened.
Mr Macintosh put to the jury that Sherry would have them believe he had been “in a panic, desperate to get out the situation that he was in”.
Graham was left badly injured following the hit-and-run, but survived the ordeal.
Lindsay and Sherry were found guilty of the charge after a trial. Millan had earlier pleaded guilty before the case began.
Lord Mulholland told the three: “You have been convicted of a horrific attempted murder – a car driven at someone to try and kill him all because of a drug deal gone wrong.”
