My son, who is 15 was in an accident with a car on Saturday. He's an experienced cyclist, many 1000's of road miles under him, member of our local club and also races.
On Saturday he was hit whilst on a island by a boy racer who took out his back wheel when joining the island from a junction. He'd been out on a 40 mile training ride and was 500 meters from home.
He went down hard. The low life in the car didn't even stop to check that he was ok. Just drove off sharpish.
There were witnesses but no one got the registration number unfortunately they were more concerned with the state of my son, for which I will be forever grateful for.
As for my son, he's come off lightly. Spent the night in hospital but the CT scan confirmed no major injuries only severe bruising to his ribs, hip/pelvis and some minor road rash. There's probably £800 plus worth of damage to his bike and clothing which can all be replaced.
I'm just so angry that the $%£^ will get away with just driving off not giving a dam about someone else's life.
