Raham Saleem
There’s been a spate of hit-and-runs in this area recently.
We’ve actually got an customers’ bike in for (expensive) repairs at the moment following an incident at Hyde Park corner – the police have got an independent eye-witness and have written(!) to the that driver to explain him/herself.
Then, last Saturday (same day as the incident below), on the corner of Norwood Mount & Grove, another cyclist was nearly hit by a silver, Astra at about 4pm, driven by a woman using her mobile phone. We’ll be informing the police ASAP about that event.
The following incident is of particular disgust.
From http://uk.news.yahoo.com/children-critical-hit-run-023455596.html:
” Raham Saleem, two, and his sister Sabam were struck as they walked home after buying onions for the family’s Eid celebrations.
West Yorkshire Police said the driver of the silver Vauxhall Astra slowed down to see what had happened after hitting the children in the Hyde Park area of Leeds on Saturday evening, then sped away from the scene. …
Detectives know the car is a mark four model, meaning it was made between 1998 and 2005. …
This is a small, close-knit community and people want to help,” the detective said. “
