Default Missus Uncle been knocked over by hit and run driver

Jeez, how much of a bad year can my family and I have this year.

Me missus Uncle was knocked over in a hit and run last night, Was in express and star paper (west midlands) (they knew before us :00000954: )

Basically they got the guy, but her uncle is in not too good way at all. He has a split skull, shattered pelvis, 2 broken ankles and the believe spine injuries. They also belive if he does regain uncosciousness he will be brain damaged.

He was transferred to QE in birmingham from New cross last night. He was on drips but it appears that tonight his body is rejecting them

they got the driver. He fell asleep

Just really a important message from me really not after sympathy at all BUT dont drive if ya tired

Take a break please.

THANKS

Thank you all. Its very difficult at the minute. I think theres 3cclear things tho

dont drink and drive

dont do drugs and drive

dont drive and sleep

simple as that. Pull over. Have a coffee or sumat. Even if you are only 1 mile away from home. If your that tired, leave the car and walk

THANKS for all your comments

Still not looking good for my uncle today he was sayin they have had to take him off the drugs because its makin him twitch. The reason they have taken him off the drugs is to see if his brain is workin basically and that he can do some movement himself.

Hes now on a life support machine and hes been unconcious since monday.

They have got the bloke who knocked him down thankgod and when he was knocked down the police reckon he was flung or dragged round about 90 feet. The driver wouldnt stop and they reckon he was under the van for all of that space length

Not been up to see him cause you have to be all scrubbed up with this stuff and also you have to wear one of those gowns and hats but i just hope hes gonna be ok for the sake of me missus
