Police in the city of Manchester are appealing for information after a 13-year-old boy was injured in a hit-and-run incident. The incident occurred on Sunday evening, when the young boy was struck by a car while walking home from a nearby convenience store. The driver of the car did not stop and fled the scene, leaving the boy injured and in need of medical attention.

According to witnesses, the driver was speeding and failed to stop at a red light before hitting the young boy. The impact of the collision was so strong that the boy was thrown several meters away, sustaining serious injuries. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, where he is currently being treated for a broken leg and other minor injuries.

The news of this hit-and-run incident has shocked the community, and the police are determined to find the driver responsible for this reckless act. Detective Sergeant Emily Jones, who is leading the investigation, stated, “We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any information that could help us identify the driver, to come forward and speak to us. We are particularly interested in any CCTV footage or dashcam footage from the area at the time of the incident.”

The police also urge the driver of the car to come forward and take responsibility for their actions. “We understand that accidents happen, but leaving the scene of a collision is a serious offense. We urge the driver to come forward and cooperate with the investigation,” added Detective Sergeant Jones.

The community has also expressed their shock and concern for the young boy and his family. Local resident, Mrs. Smith, said, “This is a quiet neighborhood, and we have never seen anything like this before. It’s a shame that a young boy had to suffer because of someone’s reckless driving.”

The incident has also sparked an outpouring of support for the young boy and his family. A crowdfunding page has been set up to help with the boy’s medical expenses and to support the family during this difficult time. The page has already received an overwhelming response from the community, with many leaving messages of support and well wishes for the young boy’s recovery.

The police are also reminding drivers to be more cautious and responsible while on the road. “We cannot stress enough the importance of driving safely and following traffic rules. One moment of negligence can have serious consequences, as we have seen in this case,” stated Sergeant Jones.

The hit-and-run incident has caused a ripple of fear among parents in the community, who are now more cautious about letting their children walk alone on the streets. However, the police are committed to finding the driver and bringing them to justice, in order to provide a sense of safety and reassurance to the community.

In the meantime, the police are appealing to anyone with information about the incident to come forward and help with the investigation. They can contact the Greater Manchester Police on 101, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The young boy is currently in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery.
