Dad’s fury after daughter, 7, left lying in street ‘covered in blood’ after hit-and-run as driver fled scene – The Sun

THE dad of a little girl left "covered in blood" after she was mown down in a hit-and-run this weekend says he is determined to find the driver responsible.

Aurelia Lloyd-Carrick, seven, was hit by a car in Grantchester, Cambridge at 6pm on Saturday.

Her distraught dad Michael, 52, has called for help to track down the motorist who left her lying in the road.

Michael told Cambridgeshire Live that Aurelia was helped by another driver who stopped after the car which hit his daughter sped away.

"We were horrified," he said.

"She was covered in blood. We took her to hospital straight away."

Aurelia is being cared for at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.

Her mum Annabelle is by her side, while Michael is caring for Aurelia's siblings, Tobias, 12, and Seraphina, nine.

Medics say her injuries aren't serious – but want to keep her on the wards until at least Monday to treat her.

Michael says his daughter has cuts and grazes as well as a "massive bump" on the head.

He said: "It could have been a lot worse.

"She said she just closed her eyes when it happened."

Michael has called 101 to report the incident, but was told he needs to go into a police station in person so a report can be filed.

He said he's determined to find the driver responsible for hurting Aurelia, and said: "Car accidents happen – but it's the fact they've just driven off and left her.

"They would have know they'd hit her. I don't understand why they drove away.

"It's awful."

He urged anyone with information about the crash to call Cambridgeshire Constabulary on 101.
