THIS EVENING, SAT 17 JULY, AT 1900 hrs THREE OF MY STAFF WERE RETURNING HOME FROM THE SHOPS ON PIERS ROAD IN BORROWDALE. THEY WERE WALKING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC)

A WHITE SEDAN VEHICLE DROVE UP BEHIND THEM AND SWUNG ONTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, TO AVOID THE SPEED HUMP BY MILLER ROAD, AND IN DOING SO HIT TWO OF THE MEN. ONE HAS SLIGHT INJURIES BUT THE OTHER WAS HIT DIRECTLY FROM BEHIND AND CARRIED DOWN THE ROAD ON THE BONNET OF THE CAR. THE DRIVER THEN TOOK OFF AT GREAT SPEED AND LEFT HIM LYING ON THE ROAD. HE HAS SUSTAINED SEVERE HEAD INJURIES AS WELL AS LACERATIONS TO THE FACE AND UPPER BODY. THE CAR MUST HAVE A BROKEN HEADLIGHT AND A DENTED BONNET. THERE WAS A LOT OF BLOOD AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT AND THIS IS PROBABLY ALL OVER THE GETAWAY CAR.IF ANYONE HAS SEEN THIS CAR PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE KIND GENTLEMAN WHO STOPPED TO HELP AND TOOK THE INJURED MAN ALL THE WAY TO HOSPITAL. WITHOUT THIS ACT OF KINDNESS IT IS LIKELY THAT THE INJURED MAN WOULD HAVE DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE IS NOW IN HOSPITAL AND HOPEFULLY WILL SURVIVE THIS ORDEAL. THE ER STAFF AT PARI WERE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC IN DEALING WITH THIS CASE.
