According to the sheffield star, a seventeen year old Taron Stead was riding his brand new mountain bike on the morning of March 6th when a silver Ford
hit him and sent him flying. The boy's mother said a female passenger
exited the vehicle and proceeded to explain that he had upset her kids
who were late for school, then drove off without giving him any contact
information.
"I can't believe anyone would leave an injured child at the side of the road after a
crash," Stead's mother told The Star. "I hope the driver and his passenger who drove off see Taron's injuries and think about their actions."
The teen was found by staff members of a local law school who called
paramedics and dressed his wounds. Luckily, Stead was wearing a helmet
at the time of the incident and only suffered facial injuries and
bruising, but the bike wasn't as lucky. A local
Halfords bike store has offered to repair the bike for free.
South Yorkshire Police are asking anyone with information on the driver to contact them.
